Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em is a pornographic video game for the Atari 2600 by Mystique in 1982. Distribution was handled by American Multiple Industries until distribution changed to Game Source. Players control two nude women; the goal is to catch sperm falling from a masturbating man on a rooftop without missing. There is also gender-reversed version of the game titled Philly Flasher that features identical gameplay.

Since its release, Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em has received negative reception. Seanbaby included it in his list of the 10 naughtiest games of all time.Destructoid founder Niero Gonzalez listed it as the second most sexual Atari 2600 game ever made, while Brett Elston criticized Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em for its depiction of women as "crudely designed slamholes."
