Challenges the hands and tickles the brain
Goodness! I had been looking for info about this game
for quite some time now and I finally found it through Mr. Google's
help. Metal and Lace was the very first hentai game I ever played,
back when I was still in high school. Okay, that was ages ago,
when MS-DOS was still the popular operating system. I learned
recently that during its time, M&L created such a controversy
that it was almost banned in Canada. I bet those people who prohibited
its release would die of apoplexy if they knew M&L would be
a proponent in paving the way for more graphically explicit adult
video games.
It's hard for me to enjoy the newer H games because I kept comparing
them to my experience with M&L. It was like Street
Fighter, Xenogears, and Hentai
Anime Poker combined. While other adult video games these
days are considered no-brainers, I remember M&L had always
kept me up my toes. As I recall, my favorite mecha was Anna. She
was probably the ugliest among my collection of well-designed
robot fighting machines, but I maximized the use of her only 2
special moves: the Circular Kick and the Belly Bang.
Why, if it weren't for these, I wouldn't have been able to successfully
undress my lovely opponents. I'm happy to say that they are still
very pretty even in Y2K standards.
The game itself looks harmless. You can go upgrade your mecha,
buy items, discover secretly hidden robots, make yourself rich,
and compete in tournaments. I accidentally discovered its perverted
nature when I was looking at one of the posters at the bar, where
my opponents were being featured. Of course I saw they were all
fully dressed at first. On my next viewing, following a series
of victorious battles, I noticed that the fighters I had beaten
had taken off some articles of clothing. Then it hit me: they
remove more as your level goes higher. It was quite an experience,
especially for the young and impressionable Catholic high school
girl I was back then. Needless to say, it still ranks as my favorite
H game of all time.
I'm proud to state that I had no access to cheat codes or walkthroughs
during those days because I had no internet connection yet. Unfortunately,
M&L used to be distributed in floppy disc format so running
into it again in a moment of luck is highly unlikely.
