Fanerotica
Fanerotica is the creation of a Czech mobile house, Wirenode. To play this
online mobile game you have to certify that you are over 18. It's very
definitely aimed
only at heterosexual males, by-the-way. Indeed, Fanerotica is definitely one
of those games for mobile geeks only. The rules are that players have to chat up a
'virtual' lady by trying out their best pick-up lines. The more
successful you are, the more of her clothes she takes off. The attraction to
this game is, however, that you can watch naughty videos on a regular mobile
phone - not just via streamed video on a 3G connexion. For those with the older
style WAP phones, the system only displays pictures, though. The game is
intended to demonstrate, er, Wirenode's great skills at creating a system
that automatically recognises the characteristics and capabilities of your
mobile phone.
