Some vintage ads scream for so many jokes, I just let them stand on their own.
And this ad for a ‘stimulating computer game’ is a perfect example.
Can’t you see some computer-sex guy running home after work and firing up his spankin new TRS-80 or Apple II computer to see what sexual interlude was waiting for him to try?
And then the girlfriend/wife would walk in the room carrying a load of laundry and say
“I don’t care what that damn box says we should try. I have a headache.”
Bummer.
Interlude #99 might always remain a mystery.

Too bad the ad doesn’t show the extension cord that was used to run power to that GINORMOUS computer terminal on the bed. Is there even room for interlude #25 (An evening to rest while she does all the “work”) with that honkin’ thing taking up so much real estate?
Love the dials. Do you think it goes to 11?
Corny as it is, I assure you it made a distinct impression on teenage boys at the time.
@Andrea – the dials go to 13, but start at 2. Good old analog TV tuner there. Well, only one of the dials. The other one is UHF and I forget the numbers on them.
I seem to recall #99 was some kind of multi-day affair where you only tease each other with limited intimacy until the end of the week when passion explodes. Or somthing like that.
I know some people who used to own a computer sex game company, before the PlayStation etc, 2D gaming. It was the innovator of TaFuI – Touch and Feel Interface. Yes, gross to consider! They would get tech support calls like “I can’t get her to take her bra off” and “after I get her bra off but before the next screen she’s supposed to say something, but I can’t get the words to print on the screen!” You can imagine the level of frustration in their customers – not only sexual, but with Windows 95. See what the Interludes inspired those teenage boys to do?
How do you even find this stuff?
You slay me.
I need to know about the bubble bath that ended with a bang. Because my imagination is shot today.
#99, is talking to your girlfriend/wife in an honest direct way about how you really feel about her, sadly this interlude is incredibly life-changing and mind blowing because it would probably be the first and last truly honest thing you do with her; probably because you she will have nothing to do with you after that exchange.
