Bachelorette Party and Burning Desire were two of the many adult-themed games that fringe companies released for the Atari 2600 at the console's commercial peak, taking advantage of the open hardware to publish without going through any Atari oversight. Over time, both titles ended up bundled together on a single reissue cartridge, aimed at the collector's market rather than at the original era's actual use. More than memorable games in terms of design, they're a curious chapter in the industry's early history: the Atari 2600 was, without meaning to, the first console where a third-party scene flourished with zero content filtering, something the market itself later took it upon itself to regulate.
