Virtual Valerie 3 was to be the newest game in a series of fantastic, ground-breaking games by Mike Saenz. His company he formed up in Chicago, IL
was called Reactor Online. Unfortunately, they ran into a bit of legal trouble, got a couple law suits slapped on them, and they were forced to
close their doors.
Unfortunately, all of the Virtual Valerie games are now out of print, and can no longer be ordered anywhere. However, this site is now sponsored
by Virtual Sex Games where we have lots of other games for you to play!
Here is what I know:
Mike Saenz, a comic book artist and computer programmer, came up with the very first virtual sex application. It was for the Macintosh and called
"MacPlaymate" If you happen to see it now, sure it looks all primitive in black and white, but it was the concept behind the game that launched an entire genre
of computer games!! In that respect, it was simply brilliant.
Mike went on to develop Virtual Valerie. Mike made this as what he called "concept art" You have to remember back then the idea of a cartoon adult CD-ROM
was just wacky!
Mike made a sequel, Virtual Valerie 2. This game was very flashy, and still looks good compared to the games you can buy today. The gameplay was
much more advanced, and had some secret stuff you could only get to if you knew how.
He was in the process of making the third one when he ran into trouble.
He was also making another game, Donna Matrix, which looked really cool.
Here is a rare interview with Mike for those curious about him.
