From the fertile and outrageously funny mind of Al Lowe comes the latest incarnation of PC gaming's favorite polyester action hero, Larry Laffer, in Leisure Suit Larry: Love For Sail. Poor Larry - he has the right stuff (not!), but just hasn't had enough help from you guys out there lately in order to fulfill his dreams of babe conquest. Well guess what? - you can help Larry's dreams come true in LSL7: Love for Sail! Woo Hoo!!

Let's cut to the chase: this is without a doubt the funniest PC game I've ever played. One word of caution, however - LSL7 is very adult oriented. Parental screening is advised (by me).

Mr. Lowe and his development team have achieved some remarkable innovation in this game. For instance:

a. the ability to adjust the "filth level" as you deem fit
b. an ingenious interface with menu bars which provide you with an amazing number of actions. You may even insert your own verb advising Larry how to act.
c. a "boss is coming" emergency exit
d. scratch and sniff technology - a card is provided with the game which has scratchable surfaces. The game prompts you to "scratch and sniff" a numbered aroma at strategic points. Most are very satisfying. Scratching the card after Larry has just gorged himself with baked beans……………..I don't think so. Thanks anyway!
e. automatic babe picture saves into the game folder once Larry scores a conquest. Import them to your desktop!

The game starts with Lar cuffed to a bedpost (need I say more?). An errant cigarette has started a fire. Yipes, help him! This sequence is actually a tutorial in the game interface. Once you rescue Lar, he decides he is ready for a well deserved vacation. To sea we go - aboard the PMS Bouncy, commanded by the voluptuous Captain Thigh. Whatta babe!

Here's the bottom line: during the cruise numerous contests are afforded the passengers. Check this: craps tourney, best dressed man, horseshoes, bowling, captain's cook-off, and the wildly popular Lovemaster 2000 competition (whew!). Your task is to help your polyester pal win these competitions. How? By cheating, of course! The payoff - an intimate visit with the voluptuous Captain Thigh. Trust me, it's worth it!

During the cruise, Larry meets lovelies such as Drew Baringmore, Dewmi Moore, Victorian Principles, Wydoncha and Nailme Jugg, Jaimie Lee Coitus, and Ms. Annette Boning. You've heard of them, right?

The game's cursor is made of latex and elongates when a hot spot is hit. Get it? In addition, Mr. Lowe has included a mini game where you search for 32 adult items hidden in the scenery. This is very cool. Get them all and, well - you'll see.

This game is an absolute must have if you enjoy adventuring and uproariously funny humor. No other game comes close. Larry desperately needs your help and you'll enjoy the cruise. Oh - oh, if you're a feminist - pass on this one.

Highest possible recommendation!
