The Plot, The Game, The Comments:
The game had no plot.  It was a 12 pair match "Concentration" 
style game.  When the game opens, you are given a choice of  
color buttons in a hexagon.  Opposite buttons give you the same 
game layout.  There are three game layouts.  The picture 
locations are "hardwired", so the same game layout has the same 
location matches always.  The more guesses you have before a 
match, the less you will see of the rewarding sex scene.  In fact, 
you may not be allowed to see any video at all.  (Funny, if you use 
3 guesses, no scene, but if you use 4 guesses, you get a 
shortened video scene.)  After a correct guess, the matches get 
normally covered again, and you can even go back to this match 
and not get penalties.  If you have a good short-term memory, or 
make a "match map", one game will take about 2 hours or less.  If 
you try another layout, you will find the same faces to match, and 
the same reward videos.  

I will admit, after playing "Latex: The Game", I was very 
disappointed by this game.  This was only matching, not roaming, 
seeking, investigating - just find the match and watch the sex.  I 
was also disappointed that the strap-on dildo scene from "The 
Chameleons" didn't show any penetration at all.  If you can get this 
CD as a rental or from Excalibur, I would play it.  I cannot 
recommend this CD for purchase at normal porn store prices.
