I played the adventure game so scandalous that it was physically destroyed by UK customs
Sex Vixens from Space holds a unique place in gaming history as apparently the only game to be physically destroyed by UK customs officials due to its scandalous content. The lewd adventure game became so notorious that rather than simply being banned or censored like many controversial titles throughout gaming history, the physical copies were destroyed entirely—a fate far exceeding the typical responses to objectionable games.
The incident is explored in PC Gamer’s “Weird Weekend” column, which covers gaming oddities and forgotten history. While numerous games have faced bans, censorship, and even burial (as with the infamous Atari game cartridges buried in the desert), actual physical destruction by authorities represents an extreme response. The game’s notoriety was evidently severe enough to warrant this unprecedented action from customs, making it a remarkable footnote in gaming preservation and censorship history.
