Lover Boy

Published in 1983 by G.T. Enterprise Inc., Lover Boy is a two-player maze and escape game with mature content. Players control characters navigating city mazes as they pursue and collect items while attempting to evade police officers and their dogs. The gameplay centers around maneuvering through the environments, presenting players with a series of challenges in an effort to avoid capture. This unusual title features a distinctive aesthetic, including naked male protagonists wearing purple fedoras. Due to its controversial nature, Lover Boy saw limited distribution and was restricted from release outside of Japan. It runs on Z80 processors and AY-3-8910A sound chips, presenting a horizontal screen resolution of 224x256 pixels. The game utilizes a four-way joystick for control and features a single button action. Its rarity contributes to its status as an unusual piece in arcade history.
