About Burning Desire

In Burning Desire, you play a nude man hovering over on a helicopter trying to save a woman from getting consumed by flames while you dodge stones being thrown at you by cannibals. You ejaculate to put out the fire and then have the woman latch onto your penis and air her to safety.

Before you buy

There is not enough sales history to give reliable prices, so compare any listing carefully against recent sold copies. Check whether the label reads Burning Desire or Jungle Fever and which publisher name appears, and ask for clear photos of the label, the end label and the board through the dust door. No reproductions are documented, but on a cart that trades this rarely, photos are your best protection.
