History VideoGame / Voyeur

''Voyeur'' and ''Voyeur II'' were FullMotionVideo games released in 1993 and 1996 respectively. The first game was originally released as the "flagship" product for the short-lived Platform/PhilipsCDi multimedia system/video game console. [[Platform/IBMPersonalComputer DOS]] and Platform/{{Macintosh}} computer ports were later released and the sequel was only available for those computers.

The format of the game was similar to that of the Digital Pictures full motion video games such as ''Night Trap'' and ''Double Switch'', with two important differences. The first major difference was that Voyeur's full motion video included female nudity and simulated sex scenes giving the game a warning label on its box about its mature subject matter. This is in contrast to full motion video games such as ''Night Trap'' where everything was kept within the equivalence of a PG-13 rating. The second major difference was that the playable character's client was different every game and thus the storyline would change slightly. While ''Night Trap'' and ''Double Switch'' did have multiple endings, most of them if you failed, the storyline did not change.
