Default Before Larry Went to the Land of the Lounge Lizards: Let's Play Softporn Adventure

Years later, Softporn Adventure inspired the Leisure Suit Larry series of adult-oriented videogames, and the first entry in that series, 1987's Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, was a nearly direct graphical adaptation of Softporn Adventure.

Chuck Benton had a difficult time finding a publisher for Softporn until Ken Williams discovered it at a trade show and decided to give the game a chance.

Softporn Adventure was originally written for the Apple II in Applesoft BASIC in 1981 by programmer Chuck Benton. Benton programmed the game as an exercise to teach himself programming on the Apple II, and did not initially intend to promote the game commercially. Benton's friends enjoyed the game and encouraged him to self-publish it. Sometime in 1981, Benton was selling his game at a trade show where he encountered Ken Williams, co-founder and President of On-Line Systems (today better known as Sierra On-Line).
What the game might most be known for is it's cover though:



Those lovely ladies in the hot tub are, from left to right: Diane Siegel, On-Line's production manager; Susan Davis, On-Line's bookkeeper; and Roberta Williams. There's a waiter in there too but no one really notices him.

There exist other photos from that shoot, two of which I've included:





If you want to know more about the hows and whys of Softporn Adventures I recommend this article in the Atlantic.

If you want to know why I'm doing this LP you'll have to ask Parish!

Well, it's an early 80s text adventure and Leisure Suit Larry's tone was more "80s R-rated comedy with naked boobs" than straight up porn video, so I'd suspect Softporn Adventures will be pretty tame compared to the average Sonic fan fiction.

As long as it has President Carter searching for the Dragon Balls, our Necessary Sonic quota will be met.

Obviously, that didn't happen.

Here's the thing. I can't find a script for this game anywhere. That means I'll have to do a screencap LP or a video LP.

I don't like doing video LPs because no one appreciates my vocal fry and I've been doing it for so long I don't know how to stop. I sound like a valley girl who's been smoking two-packs a day for thirty years. (sexy, rawwwr)

Screencap LPs are going to be not much fun either. Seeing as it's just a bunch of text.

Decision coming soon... I guess.

Screencap it, then put all the images through Deep Dreaming or whatever that image editing software is.

This isn't, like, a Frotz-compatible IF or something, is it? If it were, you could just pick an interpreter that lets you copy/paste.

Could the script be pulled from the source code by one of TT's friendly resident computer geniuses?

That's how source code works, right? You just press a "hack" button on your computer and it does whatever you want?

Why don't you just use the Z-machine version and some Z interpreter?

http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-...mesXzcode.html

It's fairly faithful port of the original, or at least it seems so.

It looks like this will work. It's a rough port of the game but it'll have to do!

Thanks!

Default The Lay of the Land

Alright, sorry about the delay. For your info I'm playing this game blind. While I have been playing adventure games since I was a wee lad, most of them were not IF or text adventure games. I am definitely a Sierra Kid. So please forgive me if I am struggling through this. Also, I am not at all familiar with pick-up culture, modern or historical. So, trying to figure out what a gross pervert in the late 70s early 80s might do to get laid is going to take some imagination. I figure a good way to start is to get the lay of the land. This first bit is going to be just visiting all the places I possibly can. I will be grabbing some items along the way but only the ones that are out in plain sight.

Oh, and my thoughts are going to be in blue, the game's text in black and the indication that a command is being entered will be the '>' in front of it. I will type out the room description the first time I visit but afterwords I'll just be using the room title. (A side note: I've corrected all the spelling errors in the game I noticed. I'm sure I missed some)

Got all that? Okay let's begin!


[Softporn Adventure

Written by Chuck Benton]

[Press any key to continue]

Welcome to SOFTPORN ADVENTURE!!

Should a saved game be loaded? (y/n)
> n

Do you need instructions? (y/n)
> y

The object of SOFTPORN ADVENTURE is to find -- and seduce -- three different girls. They have very different personalities, so tricks that work on one girl usually won't work on another girl.

The game has three different areas -- Disco, Casino and Bar. You start off in the Bar with $1000. You'll need more money than that, so you'll have to make more money during the game.

You give your puppet commands like 'Go north', 'Buy beer' etc. A phrase like 'Look at the table' is equivalent to 'Look table'. Some commands can be abbreviated, like 'N' for 'Go north', 'L' for 'Look', 'I' for 'Inventory' etc. To see how well you're doing, type 'Score'. To save and restore a game position, type 'Save' and 'Restore'.

If you're stuck, try looking at everything in sight, object by object. This will usually help you find missing objects and/or clues etc.

The 'Intro' command will repeat this message.

I'm in a Sleazy Bar

I'm in a sleazy bar.
Behind the bar sits a bartender.
A sign hanging over him says: 'Beer $100 Whiskey $100'.
The place isn't furnished too well. A curtain hangs on one wall.
Next to the curtain is a button.
A fan whirls slowly overhead - moving the stagnant air around.

Other areas are: north and west.

Items in sight are: a button, the bartender, a beer, a curtain and a shot of whiskey.

> Look button
Says Push.

> push button

A voice says 'What's the password?' (one word)
> dog
Wrong!!

> look at curtain
It's on the east wall It wasn't clear but the button is over here as well and I assume

> w

I'm in a Hallway

I'm in a dimly lit hallway.
The paint is peeling off the walls and the floor hasn't been cleaned in months.
Cockroaches run across the floor - jumping as the loosely installed lightbulb crackles and flickers.
An old desk sits pushed against the wall. A businessman sits on a broken chair next to the desk. Seems kind of drunk!

Other areas are: north and east.

Items in sight are: a businessman, a desk (which is closed) and a bunch of flowers.

> talk to businessman
There is no reply.

> look at businessman
He looks like a whiskey drinker to me!!

> get flowers
Taken

I'm in a Bathroom

I'm in a bathroom.
The stench is unbelievable!!!! Graffiti is all over the walls. Cockroaches don't seem to survive in this place - their dead bodies are strewn everywhere.
The sink's faucets are broken - in fact the sink hangs from the wall by its rusted plumbing.
A toilet sits in the corner. This baby looks dangerous!!

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: some graffiti, a mirror, a toilet and a washbasin.

I've seen worse...

> look at mirror
There's a pervert looking back at me!!

> look at washbasin
I see something!!! Dead cockroaches...

> wash hands
You can't see any such thing.

> turn on washbasin
That's not something you can switch.

> look at graffiti

It's the gambler's gazette!! There's an article here which tells how to activate the games at the Adventurer's Hotel. It says that Blackjack can be played by entering 'Play 21'. The slot machines can be started with 'Play Slot'.

I'm in the Backroom

I'm in the backroom of the bar.
There's this big dude in here with me.
He's wearing a button. I can't see what it says ... maybe I should take a closer look at him ...
Stairs lead up to the second floor. There's a TV in the corner also.
I get the feeling loitering is not encouraged here!

Other areas are: west and up.

Items in sight are: a big dude! and a TV.

> look at a big dude
He's wearing a button proclaiming -- Support your local Pimp, gimme $2000!!!

> look at tv
To watch TV, I need the remote control unit!!

> go up
The Pimp says I can't until I get $2000

I'm in a Sleazy Bar

I'm on a Street outside the Bar

I'm on the sidewalk outside the bar.
A couple stray dogs wander around. A cat is crouched in the entrance watching the dogs.
Old beat-up cars drive by. The sirens of police cars and ambulances wail in the distance.
Some paper blows by - from the overfilled garbage dumpster next to me. I just miss stepping on a dogs "calling card". The dogs look at me - I hope they don't think I'm a fire hydrant!

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a sign.

> look at sign
It says 'Hail taxi here'

> hail taxi
A taxi pulls up and screeches to a halt! I get in the back and sit down. A sign says 'We service 3 destinations. When asked, please specify - Disco ... Casino ... or Bar'.
The driver turns and asks: 'Where to Mac???'
> casino

We arrive and I get out.

I'm on a Downtown Street

I'm on a downtown street.
People from all walks of life are milling about. Cadillacs, Limos and Mercedes sportcars drive up and down the street bringing gamblers to and from the casinos.
To the north is an establishment - an advertisement says: 'Use our services to enter into a blissful life!'
To the east is 'The Adventurers Hotel'. Seems like quite the classy place!

Other areas are: north and east.

Items in sight are: a sign.

> n

I'm in a Quickie Marriage Center

I'm in a quickie marriage center.
A flashing neon sign says: 'Why wait? Marry the girl of your dream today!!!
You provide the girl - we provide a legal marriage for only $1000!!'.
A plaque hangs below the sign, proclaiming - 'Over 1 million served!!!'

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a preacher.

> look at preacher
I see nothing special

> s

I'm on a Downtown Street

> e

I'm in the Main Casino Room

I'm in the main casino room.
Row upon row of slot machines fill the room. The bells of the slot machines clamor as winnings are paid out to the winners. The police cart off one of the losers. Vagrancy is not tolerated here - vagrants are exterminated ... keeps the crime rate low ...! But everyone seems happy here .. it's a gambler's paradise!!!!

Other areas are: north, east and west.

Items in sight are: a bunch of slot machines.

> e

I'm in the Lobby of the Hotel

I'm in the main lobby.
There's a stairway going up to the hotel desk. The only other exit leads back to the casino. Over in the corner is a flourishing plant which is sitting in a pot. Couchs and tables are also in the room - as are other items one would normally find in a lobby.
The lobby is empty - everybody is out gambling.

Other areas are: west and up.

Items in sight are: a plant.

> get plant
Taken

> look at plant
There's a group of bushes behind it!!

The smell of perfume fills the air!

Other areas are: west and down.

Items in sight are: an elevator, a button and a voluptuous blonde.

> look at blonde
She's wearing the tightest jeans! Wow ... what a body!!!!! 36-24-35!! This girls derriere is sensational!! And the shirt? See through - and what I see I like!

As my eyes reluctantly roam from her body, I see bright blue eyes - and a smile that dazzles me. I think she likes me!

I'm guessing we're going to have to do something with this girl at some point?

> w

I'm in the Hotel Hallway

I'm in a hallway.
Doors line each side - most have 'Do not disturb' hung on the doorknobs. Waiters from room service pass by bringing food and drink to the hotel guests. An ashtray stands next to the wall. To the south is the entrance to the Honeymoon Suite.

Other areas are: east.

Items in sight are: an ashtray.

> get ashtray
Not bloody likely!!

> take ashtray
Huh?

Okay, so the ashtray is just here and can't be taken.

> east

I'm at the Hotel Desk

The blonde says 'You can't go there!'

Wait, is the blonde the hotel clerk? Or is she just nosy?

I'm in the '21' Room

I'm in the 'Twenty-one room'.
Tables for playing blackjack are everywhere. The noise of people winning and losing fortunes fills the room. A table stands in front of me - the dealer waits for me to join in.
People gather ... they want to see me gamble my fortune away!
A voice within me says: 'Go for it -- fool!'.

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a stack of cards and a dealer.

We arrive and I get out.

I'm on a Residential Street

I'm standing on a sidewalk.
To the north is a fancy doorway - the entrance to the Disco Club. An old bum sits by the entrance - he's definitely seen better days. The guy really looks tormented!
To the east is a pharmacy. Apartment houses and homes line the rest of the street.

Other areas are: north and east.

Items in sight are: a sign and a bum.

> e

I'm in the Pharmacy

I'm in a pharmacy.
A pharmacist sits behind the counter. On one wall sits a magazine rack.
A sign reads 'This is not a library - no reading'.
A mirror to protect against shoplifting is mounted in the corner.
Kids stop and buy candy. Others buy newspapers/cigarettes etc.

Other areas are: west.

I'm in the Disco's Entrance

I'm in the entrance to the disco.
Pictures line the entrance way - showing the happy singles who attend the club.
Singles pass by me into the club.
Couples wander out - kissing and making eyes at each other.
A door is to the west. The door has a sign on it.

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a door to the west.

> read sign

A voice asks 'Passcard?' I search in my pockets and...
I don't have it!!

> s

I'm on a Residential Street

> save
Ok.

Besides the areas that are locked behind doors that's the world of Softporn Adventure. I think I'm going to need more money. Gambling could be an option? It seems to be the only way to get money I can see. We could try giving the flowers to the blonde. Or a whisky to the businessman. Or maybe something I haven't thought of at all.

What do y'all think Talking Time?

I'm still in shock about the prices. $100 for a whisky? Deflation truly has wrecked American economy!

Default On the Prowl for a Point

Last time we had sort of checked out the three locations in the game: the bar, the casino, and the disco. There were still some spots inside those locations we weren't able to go but it did give us a feel for the game, maybe? We left our "hero" (more like sleaze bucket) outside the Disco club

I'm on a Residential Street

I'm standing on a sidewalk.
To the north is a fancy doorway - the entrance to the Disco Club. An old bum sits by the entrance - he's definitley seen better days. The guy really looks tormented!
To the east is a pharmacy. Apartment houses and homes line the rest of the street.

Other areas are: north and east.

Items in sight are: a sign and a bum.

> hail taxi
A taxi pulls up and screeches to a halt! I get in the back and sit down. A sign says 'We service 3 destinations. When asked, please specify - Disco ... Casino ... or Bar'.
The driver turns and asks: 'Where to Mac???'
> bar

We arrive and I get out.

I'm on a Street outside the Bar

I'm on the sidewalk outside the bar.
A couple stray dogs wander around. A cat is crouched in the entrance watching the dogs.
Old beat-up cars drive by. The sirens of police cars and ambulances wail in the distance.
Some paper blows by - from the overfilled garbage dumpster next to me. I just miss stepping on a dogs "calling card". The dogs look at me - I hope they don't think I'm a fire hydrant!

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a sign.
> s

I'm in a Sleazy Bar

I'm in a sleazy bar.
Behind the bar sits a bartender.
A sign hanging over him says: 'Beer $100 Whiskey $100'.
The place isn't furnished too well. A curtain hangs on one wall.
Next to the curtain is a button.
A fan whirls slowly overhead - moving the stagnant air around.

Other areas are: north and west.

Items in sight are: a button, the bartender, a beer, a curtain and a shot of whiskey.
> buy whiskey
I give the bartender $100 and he places it on the bar.
> take whiskey
Taken

> w

I'm in a Hallway

I'm in a dimly lit hallway.
The paint is peeling off the walls and the floor hasn't been cleaned in months.
Cockroaches run across the floor - jumping as the loosely installed lightbulb crackles and flickers.
An old desk sits pushed against the wall. A businessman sits on a broken chair next to the desk. Seems kind of drunk!

Other areas are: north and east.

Items in sight are: a businessman and a desk (which is empty).
> look at businessman
He looks like a whiskey drinker to me!!

> give man whiskey
The guy gives me a TV controller!!

> n

I''m in a Bathroom

I'm in a bathroom.
The stench is unbelievable!!!! Graffiti is all over the walls. Cockroaches don't seem to survive in this place - their dead bodies are strewn everywhere.
The sink's faucets are broken - in fact the sink hangs from the wall by its rusted plumbing.
A toilet sits in the corner. This baby looks dangerous!!

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a wedding ring, some graffiti, a mirror, a toilet and a washbasin.

> look washbasin
I only understood you as far as wanting to look.

> look at washbasin
Dead cockroaches...

> take ring
Taken

We arrive and I get out.

I'm on a downtown street.
People from all walks of life are milling about. Cadillacs, Limos and Mercedes sportcars drive up and down the street bringing gamblers to and from the casinos.
To the north is an establishment - an advertiesemnt says: 'Use our services to enter into a blissful life!'
To the east is 'The Adventurers Hotel'. Seems like quite the classy place!

Other areas are: north and east.

I'm in the Main Casino Room

I'm in the main casino room.
Row upon row of slot machines fill the room. The bells of the slot machines clamor as winnings are paid out to the winners. The police cart off one of the losers. Vagrancy is not tolerated here - vagrants are exterminated ... keeps the crime rate low ...! But everyone seems happy here .. it's a gambler's paradise!!!!

Other areas are: north, east and west.

Items in sight are: a bunch of slot machines.

> save
Ok.

> n

I'm in the '21' Room

I'm in the 'Twenty-one room'.
Tables for playing blackjack are everywhere. The noise of people winning and losing fortunes fills the room. A table stands in front of me - the dealer waits for me to join in.
People gather ... they want to see me gamble my fortune away!
A voice within me says: 'Go for it -- fool!'.

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a stack of cards and a dealer.

> play blackjack

You have $900. How many dollars would you like to bet? 500

I'll save you all the save and restores as I play enough blackjack to get $2000 (Remember that is what the pimp at the bar wants from us to go upstairs) it takes awhile but finally

> inventory
I'm carrying the following::
a wedding ring
a remote control unit
a plant
a newspaper
a bunch of flowers
a wallet (with $2700)

Now back to the disco. But, don't worry I'll be back to gamble more. Everything in this game is ridiculously overpriced...

I'm in the Pharmacy

I'm in a pharmacy.
A pharmacist sits behing the counter. On one wall sits a magazine rack.
A sign reads 'This is not a library - no reading'.
A mirror to protect against shoplifting is mounted in the corner.
Kids stop and buy candy. Others buy newspapers/cigarettes etc.

Other areas are: west.

Items in sight are: an adventureboy magazine, a display rack and a rubber.

> buy magazine
He takes $100 and gives me the magazine

> buy rubber

The man leans over the counter and whispers:
What color? blue

And for a flavor? mint

Lubricated or not? (y/n) y

Ribbed? (y/n) y

He yells -- This pervert just bought a blue, mint-flavored, lubricated, ribbed rubber!!!!

A lady walks by and looks at me in disgust!!!!
> look at magazine
Hmmmm ..... an interesting magazine with a nice centerfold! The feature article is about how to pick up an innocent girl at a disco. It says - 'Shower her with presents. Dancing won't hurt either. And wine is always good to get thing moving!'

Back to the bar

I'm in a sleazy bar.
Behind the bar sits a bartender.
A sign hanging over him says: 'Beer $100 Whiskey $100'.
The place isn't furnished too well. A curtain hangs on one wall.
Next to the curtain is a button.
A fan whirls slowly overhead - moving the stagnant air around.

Other areas are: north and west.

Items in sight are: a button, the bartender, a beer and a curtain.

> push button

A voice says 'What's the password?' (one word) bellybutton
The curtain pulls back!!
> e

I'm in the backroom of the bar.
There's this big dude in here with me.
He's wearing a button. I can't see what it says ... maybe I should take a closer look at him ...
Stairs lead up to the second floor. There's a TV in the corner also.
I get the feeling loitering is not encouraged here!
> u

The Pimp takes $2000 and says OK

I'm in a Hooker's Bedroom

I'm in a seedy bedroom.
There's a hooker in here also. The bed's a mess and the hooker's about the same!
The room is painted bright pink and the ceiling is covered with mirrors! A fire exit is to the north.
A sign says: 'Take precautions! The clap could be fatal!'

Other areas are: north and down.

Items in sight are: some candy and a funky hooker.

> take candy
The Hooker says: 'Don't take it ... do me first!!'
> wear rubber
It tickles!!

Stay classy Softporn Adventures

> fuck hooker
It's a good thing I was wearing that rubber!!!!! She was OK - but really ... can't you do better that this?? The score is now '1' out of a possible of '3' ... so congratulations!!!!! Well ... go to it - you stud!!! Find me another girl!

[Your score has just gone up by one point.]

That's 1/3 of the game complete! And don't you feel dirty for reading this? I feel dirty for playing. Think I'm going to hit the showers. See you next update

We left our protagonist in a seedy room above a bar with a prostitute post coital. Let's get back to it then.

I'm on a balcony.
Off in the distance I see a brightly lite billboard. A fire escape ladder is at one end of the balcony. A sign says 'Use only in extreme emergency!!!' Looking over towards the west end of the balcony I see a window ledge. It looks too dangerous to go there - I might fall!

I'm in a Filthy Dumpster

There's a fire escape ladder above me which lowers automatically whenever weight is put on it. As a result I find myself in the garbage dumpster which some fool placed under it!

Have I said how annoying the look mechanic here is? You look at an object the game says "I see something" but in order to see what it is you've seen you have to use the generic "look" command and then it kicks up the entire room description again.

There's a stairway going up to the hotel desk. The only other exit leads back to the casino. Over in the corner is a flourishing plant which is sitting in a pot. Couchs and tables are also in the room - as are other items one would normally find in a lobby.
The lobby is empty - everybody is out gambling.

Other areas are: west and up.

I'm in the Main Casino Room

Row upon row of slot machines fill the room. The bells of the slot machines clamor as winnings are paid out to the winners. The police cart off one of the losers.

I'm on a Downtown Street

I'm on a downtown street.
People from all walks of life are milling about. Cadillacs, Limos and Mercedes sportcars drive up and down the street bringing gamblers to and from the casinos.

A taxi pulls up and screeches to a halt! I get in the back and sit down. A sign says 'We service 3 destinations. When asked, please specify - Disco ... Casino ... or Bar'.
The driver turns and asks: 'Where to Mac???' disco

We arrive and I get out.

I'm on a Residential Street

I'm standing on a sidewalk.
To the north is a fancy doorway - the entrance to the Disco Club. An old bum sits by the entrance - he's definitley seen better days. The guy really looks tormented!
To the east is a pharmacy. Apartment houses and homes line the rest of the street.

Other areas are: north and east.

Items in sight are: a sign and a bum.

I'm in the Disco's Entrance

I'm in the entrance to the disco.
Pictures line the entrance way - showing the happy singles who attend the club.
Singles pass by me into the club.
Couples wander out - kissing and making eyes at each other.
A door is to the west. The door has a sign on it.

Other areas are: south.

Items in sight are: a door to the west.
A passerby kills me for wearing my kinky rubber in public!

Wait?! What? This game has deaths in it?! I wasnt expecting that. When you die the game sends you to "Purgatory" where you can either quit, reload a game, or continue from your point of death with no penalties. I restore and remove the rubber before moving forward.
