Shape Up or Slip Out! is the fifth game in Al Lowe's
Leisure Suit Larry series. All the events from the previous games are
forgotten. Larry is once again single, and again his goal is to capture
the interest of various ladies. By sheer coincidence, Larry finds
himself on a TV Game Show called "Stallions". He wins a weekend at the
Spa Resort, La Costa Lotta. Naturally, there are some beautiful women
in the spa who are just dreaming about such a wonderful, handsome man
as Larry! Uh... or is it really so? It is your goal to find out! Using
your wit, you should solve all the puzzles and satisfy the wishes of
all the ladies! (From

Leisure Suit Larry 6 History
Al says:
Ken says:

|
Roberta Williams, who designed Sierra's first game, Mystery House
in 1980, felt it was time to write another murder mystery which lived
up to the computer capabilities of the late eighties. Mystery House,
which was put on public domain in 1988, was the first computer game ever
with graphics, but it lacked colors, animation and sound. The Colonel's
Bequest was developed, using EGA graphics, Sierra's SCI engine, sound
and a music score, as well as featuring a deeper plot and more detailed
character descriptions.
The game has a sequel, The Dagger of Amon Ra, which is also the last Laura Bow game. Both games are also included in the 1997 King's Quest Collection and the Roberta Williams Anthology. Although the original release of The Colonel's Bequest can still relatively easily be found on online auctions, a complete
original game is considered as a true collector's item, as it contains
many goodies which are often missing from second-hand sales,
particularly the Laura Bow pen and notebook. The games copyright
protection is also quite original: the gamer needs to use a magnifying
glass (included in the box) to identify a fingerprint on the game
screen.
