It’s a company. Swedish Erotica. They make sex toys.
I actually played this game when I was a kid. We had to hide to from our parents of course but my buddy got a hold of this one and let me tell you something even as a pre-teen this was hysterical
Well, Mystique was a short-lived producer of “erotic” Atari games. What? You say it’s impossible to make a game using Atari graphics that’s actually arousing…??
…well, you’d be right.
Look up Mystique games on Google to find some screenshots. They’re extraordinarily bad, and very funny. This one adds a racist note, as you’re trying to cross the screen to rape a bound woman while avoiding flying arrows coming from behind her, presumably shot by her tribe.
…you think I’m kidding? I’ve got to be kidding, right? Look it up.
And this was the 80s. Sweden/Denmark had a burgeoning pornography industry. Not only is there the now-cliche image of the blonde bombshell with the Swedish accent, but Swedish and Danish porn companies produced some things that were illegal in the USA even then. Whether it’s a real company now, “Swedish Erotica” was just Mystique’s name for their games, capitalizing on the image of Swedish porn being a big deal.
