About Bachelor Party
The game is a simplified version of Breakout where the "ball" is made to look like a nude man and the "bricks" are made to look like nude women and the man bounces back and forth horizontally rather than vertically. On the left, he is repelled by a woman with whom he collides and subsequently eliminates from play, or by the opposing wall. On the right, a paddle (said to be a container of aphrodisiac "Spanish Fly" in the manual) returns the depleted bachelor to the room full of women. The paddle is controlled by the player using a paddle controller. The premise is that of an unnamed bachelor having his final fling with a room full of inexplicably nude women. The equally unclothed bachelor is propelled repeatedly into the room of women by a container of "Spanish Fly" used as the player's paddle. When entering the fray, the bachelor's exaggerated and pixelated penis is seen to be erect. When he returns from having collided with (and presumably had sexual intercourse with) a woman or after hitting the opposing wall, his penis sags. It returns to erect when the bachelor is successfully set moving again toward the left. A second version of the game, titled Bachelorette Party, also exists. It has no difference in gameplay, but has the game sprites reversed: The player now uses his or her paddle to bounce a naked woman toward naked men.

An adult Breakout variant played with paddles, collected for notoriety rather than play.
American Multiple Industries published Bachelor Party under its Mystique label in 1982, with JHM Ltd. developing. It is a simplified, sideways Breakout: you use a paddle controller to bounce a naked bachelor into a room of naked women, who disappear as he hits them.
Some copies carry the longer title Mystique Presents Swedish Erotica: Bachelor Party. After the controversy over Custer's Revenge, the remaining Mystique games were folded into the PlayAround line, and a gender-swapped version, Bachelorette Party, was released on a double-ended cartridge with Burning Desire.
