Overview

Caper in the Castro is the first known LGBT video game. The player assumes the role of a lesbian detective investigating the disappearance of a drag queen in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco. The game was distributed by BBS, with donations requested "to an AIDS-related charity of your choice for whatever amount you feel is appropriate". It was eventually commercially released as Murder on Mainstreet with all LGBT content removed.
