Love for Sail! is the sixth game in Al Lowe's
Leisure Suit Larry series. Larry unexpectedly receives a ticket to a
cruise ship. Upon the arrival of the passengers, a mega-contest is
announced. This contest includes various kinds of sports and
activities, from bowling to love-making. The winner will get to "score"
with the sexy Captain Thigh. Naturally, there is no way Larry can win
this contest fairly, so he must use his brains to solve the tricky
puzzles of the game, and to cheat his way into the Captain's bed. (From

Leisure Suit Larry 7 History
Al 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.
