Core loop

- interact with crew and captives through branching dialogue
Systems and items
- verb-icon interface - combines point-and-click and text input
- inventory system - simple take/use mechanics
- humor system - innuendo replaces explicit content
Level design and feel
Static illustrated scenes with parser-style interaction. Mix of adventure and
parody, reminiscent of early Sierra titles but with adult humor.
Why it is notable
- one of few adult graphic adventures released commercially for C64
- notorious for suggestive marketing but relatively tame gameplay
- later reissued for Amiga and DOS with improved art
Tips
