It all started when Deleto showed me this classic videogames book and said: "Here look at this, there's even a sexgame for the 2600 !". A different friend had also pointed out that he had played such a game at a friend's house. No way, this was beyond madness and coolness. A sex game for the 2600 ! After wiping the drool from the pages of the book the issue was soon forgotten as we knew we surely wouldn't see this game in our lifetimes.

Just for the none-insiders:
X-man is the one and only game from GameX serialnumber GX-001 probably produced under the SpectraVision brand. It was released in 1983 primaraly in Europe, where the marketing of such a game would cause less problems than in the United States. The game is rated UR on VGR's list, which stands for Ultra Rare, the highest rating a released game can receive.
While the Atari can never reach high detail for any game to be offending the contents of the cart were considered obscene enough for those days to make X-Man a difficult cart to buy. Not considered for children the game must have been sold to adults only or from "under the counter".
The object of the game is to maneuver your horny self towards the center of a maze, where a willing dame would let you give a shot at pleasing her towards an orgasm. This is done by quickly wriggling the joystick to and fro.
While maneuvering yourself through the maze your protruding private parts are subject to some very sharp items/monsters. By quickly hiding in a side alley of the main maze you must try to avoid these razorsharp and witty items/monsters. Every time you reach the center you are allowed to try and reach the top in different poses.
This is X-Man !

This is one day that you foreigners may have heard of after our find. On this particular day the whole of the Netherlands is allowed to sell their junk on the streets in all the different cities in the Netherlands. We decided to visit the same spot as last year since we found some carts there.

It was clear from the beginning that this particular square would be a lucky strike. We found all sorts of carts and a box full of Odessey games. The load was too heavy so we dumped our finds in the back of my car and continued our trifting. All the while we also had additional "thrifters" searching games for us. After Deleto and I concluded that the square was devoid of any more carts we returned to my car, where the other "trifters" (read parents) presented their finds. It varied from boxed Col 'N' s to Pac-Man and there were so many different bags that we didn't have an overview straight away. Pirates kept coming and going with the most oddball mistitlings like "Reever Raad"...
Rummaging and quickly skimming through the contents of the bags Deleto saw it.

There it was !!! The bright blue label with the large yellow lettering "X-Man"
Man, HIS cool find. My jealousy was beyond normal levels.

Later when we were driving we found another one in a bag (!) Imagine me trying not to cause an accident at 120 Km/h (70 Mph for you American folks).

The best thing was two other "trifters" had also found 2 X-man carts in different cities. So on Queensday the 30th of April we found 4 X-Mans ! (along with 130 other 2600 carts. Among them were Roc 'n Rope, Gas-Hog, Nightmare and 12 pirates) The bad thing was more X-Man's were seen but weren't bought, cause they already bought one for me and figured I didn't want doubles !

Hell, how was I supposed to know so many X-man's were scattered around in the Netherlands.

Yours, Kid-EZ.
