Man Enough
Man Enough (also known as Man Enough: The Ultimate Social Adventure)[2] is a 1993 dating video game from Tsunami Media. GameplayMan Enough is a 1994 dating simulator and romantic adventure, featuring FMV and dialogue trees. The player begins as a lonely man handed a card to the dating agency by a friend named Nick. From there, the player makes seduction attempts with five women—Blair, Erin, Quinn, Fawn, and Kellie—each with their own quirks, turn-ons, and scripted rejection paths. Gameplay revolves around choosing dialogue options from conversation trees, where success involves using lines from the character bios in the game manual. Even with a success, the dates end in bizarre ways including: a helicopter interrupting a picnic, a paintball ambush, or a woman revealing she is a developer plant. Eventually, the player is invited to date Jeri, the agency's FMV hostess, who challenges the player to skydive solo as a final test. If the player survives and says the right lines, the player is rewarded with intimacy—only to discover it was all a month-long prank orchestrated by Nick and the women. The game ends with Jeri telling the player he is "Man Enough."[2] DevelopmentThe game was developed by Tsunami Media, a company founded in 1991.[3] ReceptionReception
Entertainment Weekly gave the game a D+ rating: "Man Enough doesn't have the courage of its own sleaziness, as the final encounters are all interrupted before anything happens. Expensive frustration, then-and God help the boob who tries these sub-Club Med lines out on human females".[5] The game sold 30,000 copies.[1] References
