If you’ve played any game in the Leisure Suit Larry series, Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals will feel extremely familiar in terms of its gameplay loop. In each scene, you direct Larry and Patti around, interacting with characters and objects via typing. The world is fully explorable, too. This means that you’ll need to do a lot of backtracking to find all of the solutions to the puzzles.
The overall objective is to help Larry seduce various women, mostly to no avail. You must do this by picking up objects around the world, and figuring out who the right person is to give it to. For the first time in the series’ history, Leisure Suit Larry III: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals adds a second playable character in the form of Passionate Patti. Her levels are much shorter in general. However, they mostly play the same as Larry’s.
Of course, the main thing that sets the game apart is the series’ traditional crude humor, which makes a return in Leisure Suit Larry III: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals. It pushes more boundaries than ever before for the series.

The Leisure Suit Larry series is iconic for its shameless brand of raunchy humor. Launching almost four decades ago, it’s a name that has stood the test of time, even if modern releases are much less frequent nowadays. The reason for this is simple.
