<b>Who Wants to Be Hugh Hefner?</b>
Ask any American male whom he most wants to trade places with and Hugh Hefner is likely to be on the short list.
That dream can virtually come true in Playboy Enterprises' forthcoming simulation game in which Joe Gamer gets to don Hef's silk pajamas and rule his hedonistic media empire.
As a result of a deal between Playboy, Arush Entertainment (maker of the popular Duke Nukem shooter games) and Groove Games, average Americans -- most of whom will probably be male -- can pretend for a few hours that they, too, live surrounded by a bevy of buxom, barely clothed women.
Due out in 2004, the simulation will include living the "lavish lifestyle of Hef, including hanging out at the Playboy mansions and throwing parties," said Donald Case, marketing manager for Arush.
The game probably won't show as much skin as the magazine does, Case said, but there might be totally topless Playmates. "Think sexy, not sex," said Case, who predicts the game will carry an M rating for mature audiences.
