On-line Systems "Softporn Adventure"

Online Systems Presents�

Softporn Adventure

I got this relic from a trade I did with Cryomancer. I got many, MANY Atari system discs as well as some hardware and this was in the stack. He had got the lot from a local Goodwill. Anyway, I got a good laugh when I saw it and thought I would post it here.

Oh, it�s a text based game�no pics�

You should play it, it's quite funny. This used to be a real hilarious thing for me to print off on my old daisy wheel printer and take to school when I was young - so much better than your average skin magazine.

Hah!

Wasnt this game included on the Leisure Suit Larry collection?

**smokehouse** · 10-12-2005, 06:36 AM

I�m not sure, this guy is rather old. It says 1981 on the disk. Wasn�t the original Leisure Suit Larry later on, say around 1985/6? I can�t remember now.

The woman on the right is Roberta Williams of King's Quest fame.

Im 99% sure this game was included in the LSL collection

There was a game called the same if I remember correctly and it was only textbased. But your right that LSL was released later.

FYI, you'd probably get a small fortune of you put that up for sale on eBay. It's pretty rare. I know I'd love to fine one.

Oh man, AWESOME grab.

Do you have a scanner, per-chance? I'd love to see a high quality scan of the cover, plus I'm sure MobyGames.Com would love you for it

**Pantechnicon** · 10-12-2005, 09:54 AM

That's awesome! I've gotta fire up the old 800 emulator and check this out sometime.

Can is there a patch to update this to "Hardcore Porn Adventure"? Just asking, s'all...

Does the guy holding the drink tray look familiar at all? He does to me, let me give you hint...

"Yeah. If coach would've put me in fourth quarter... we'd have been state champions, no doubt. No doubt in my mind. You better believe things would have been different. I'd have gone pro...in a heartbeat. I'd be makin' millions of dollars and... livin' in a... big ol' mansion somewhere. You know, soakin' it up in a hot tub with my soul mate."

Thanks for sharing. I can now face the day.

Anyone interested in Al Lowe, Soft Porn Adventure, Sierra and the LSL series might think about buying the upcoming Retro Survival CD as there's a big article about all of it on there

(and I'm currently editing this together!)

And yes, the woman on the right in the tub is Roberta Williams, co-founder of Sierra. It was her tub as well. The woman in the middle is the wife of one of Sierra's programmers at the time, and the woman on the left an employee too. The waiter was "borrowed" from a nearby bar. Nothing like keeping it local

OMG, Roberta Williams is HOT!!!

...too bad the pic is over 20 years old...

**mr_pollock** · 10-12-2005, 12:53 PM

I've never understood the appeal of the Grand Theft Auto games. Furthermore, I don't understand why people care so much about the hot coffee thing.

Anyone care to enlighten me or is just a bunch of 13 year olds with raging hormones?

But...why is she there?! That was the first thing I thought.

**Mayhem** · 10-12-2005, 01:03 PM

I guess she didn't have a problem "helping out" with all aspects of game production

After all, she did co-own the company at the time with her husband. And it's their hot-tub in the picture. Easiest way to keep costs down I guess, ask about who wouldn't mind being immortalised for posterity :P

Hey man, I know your new here, but don't insult 13 year olds, there is some on here

Back on topic, did he say that the person he got it from got it a GOODWILL

. That's crazy

**TheRedEye** · 10-12-2005, 04:18 PM

This was the game that inspired Leisure Suit Larry. If you're thinking of selling it, I might be interested.

**smokehouse** · 10-12-2005, 04:22 PM

How can I find out the price of this game? As sad as it sounds I�m not really interested in keeping this title and would rather put the $$ into my collection. Any ideas?

Technically speaking, LSL is essentially a remake of SPA, minus the mushrooms IIRC...

Yeah, but Soft Porn didn't really have the ol' Al Lowe humor.

I don't think it's possible to guess what this thing is worth, your best bet is to eBay it and find out for all of us. I've never seen one for sale, personally.

**smokehouse** · 10-12-2005, 05:06 PM

There�s a sealed copy for the Apple II currently sitting at $325 and it�s still got 4 days left.

Here�s a link:

I imagine that my copy won�t go for that much figuring it�s not sealed but If I clear enough to get a Turbo Duo and a few games I�d be thrilled!
