Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail! is a computer game, part of the Leisure Suit Larry series. It featured more fleshed-out, cartoon style graphics and full voice acting, Love for Sail! was the sixth installment in the LSL series.

Plot

---

Larry 7 was the first Larry game since the third to pick up immediately where its predacessor left off; typically, it features Larry getting dumped by the woman who represented the ultimate goal of Larry 6, Shamara.

The formula was much the same as the previous games: the "twist" was that Larry was a passenger on a cruise ship populated by parodies of famous people. Among the other cruise guests were "Drew Baringmore" (Drew Barrymore), "Dewmi Moore" (Demi Moore), "Victorian Principles" (Victoria Principal), "Jamie Lee Coitus" (Jamie Lee Curtis), "Nailmi" and "Wydoncha Jugg" (Naomi and Wynonna Judd) and "Annette Boning" (Annette Bening). Various other pop icons were parodied in the background, such as the Archie Comics gang playing nude volleyball, various incarnations of James Bond in the ship's casino, a Sierra staffer dressed as Sailor Moon, and porn icon Ron Jeremy walking around naked. Most of the male supporting cast (Peter the Purser, Johnson the bartender, Dick the guardrobe attendant, Wang the galley server, Bob Bitt the artist) are named after popular euphemisms for the male reproductive organ or are in some way related to it (Bob Bitt, for instance, is named after John Wayne Bobbitt).

It was also the first Larry game to include a full-fledged minigame (not counting the casino games in the earlier installments, which were essential to the plot): by collecting hidden red-and-white-striped dildos (Where's Dildo?, a pun on Where's Waldo?), the player could unlock high quality pin-up desktop wallpapers of the ladies in the game (the images are simply Windows BMP files stored in the Drivers subdirectory of the game under misleading Memory1.drv ... Memory8.drv names; they can be opened with any graphics program).

Additional information

Players could also "appear" in the game by placing voice samples of selected dialogue and a digitized photo in a particular directory (the default was Al Lowe). Due to time constraints, the information to do so were not printed in the manual, but were published only some time later in an on-line announcement.

Love for Sail! also provided a more-literal-than-usual interpretation of Easter eggs: when certain obscure actions were performed, a small icon resembling an Easter egg flashed in a corner of the screen. This usually indicated that a "seduction" scene could now be played featuring nudity that was normally obscured.

Due to the lack of documentation, and the obscurity of the totally unguessable easter eggs, all these were possible only after following the hints released by the Sierra website, several months after the release of the game.

The game also shipped with a "CyberSniff 2000", a sheet of numbered scratch-and-sniff paper, corresponding to a number displayed on the screen at a certain location, so that the player could get a scent of what the area the player was in smelled like.

Trivia

---

• The song played at the Poopdeck, where the Juggs are located is Freddy Pharkas' balad.
• There are two "dapper" men playing craps. Both in tuxedo. And both order a Martini. "Shaken. Not stirred." When approached a theme very familiar of a certain secret agent plays..
• Bob Bitt, an artist, is busy working on a sculpture in the sculpture garden. His afro clearly makes fun of Bob Ross
• Drew's book "The erotic adventures of Hercules" was going to be adapted into a movie starring Troy McLure, as stated by the narrator. Neil Ross seems to have geared his voice as the LSL series' narrator as Phil Hartman's, who voiced Troy McLure on the Simpsons prior to his death in 1998.
