In Site of the Week (by Tony Dennis)

This week                                                                 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.
