"Grandia", which ESP released in 1997, was the first third-party Saturn title to breach 500,000 units in sales. Afterwards, ESP released titles including "Giren's Ambition" and "Baroque", later extending footholds into the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 platforms with titles like "" and "Abarenbo Princess".
Sex and nudity in video games
One of the earliest video games (if not the first) to feature sexual themes was the 1981 text-based "Softporn Adventure", published by On-Line Systems for the Apple II. Despite heavy piracy the game still sold 25,000 copies, roughly equivalent to 25% of the number of Apple II's sold at the time. In a 1981 article in "Time Magazine", On-Line reported that they were making a version of the game for straight women, though this never materialized.
