		Softporn Adventure was a comedic, adult-oriented text adventure game produced for the Apple II in 1981.

		Based on a 1982 text-only adventure game called Softporn by Chuck Benson (Gary Thompson later develops his own improved version of the program), the goal of the game is to get the sleazy title character into bed with three different women.
		The game is a particular hit with bored male office workers, and it introduces the "Boss" key, which instantly clears the screen of any evidence of the game in case the manager walks by.

	Softporn Adventure (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An all-text game from On-Line Systems (later Sierra On-Line), Softporn Adventure is a precursor to their Leisure Suit Larry series, with a plot almost identical to that of Leisure Suit Larry.
		While mildly entertaining because of its theme, the game suffered from a very limiting parser, which seemed especially weak when compared to the more advanced and adaptable one used by Infocom during the same time period.
		Still, to see some of Sierra's earliest work, Softporn Adventure is an interesting game, if only for the novelty value.

		A lot of the puzzles and structure of the game is actually based on an older Sierra text adventure called Softporn, but Al Lowe's sense of humor and the character of Larry make it a lot funnier than the game it's inspired by.
		Those adventures took the whole "cartoon" feel even further with the whole skewed buildings and big headed characters.

	What is your favourite adventure game? (all platforms) - English Amiga Board
		Just in case we have any historians lurking in our midst, the Leisure Suit Larry series was an offshoot of an old text adventure called "Softporn Adventure" which if I recall correctly, was originally sold on the Apple II series.
		I also liked Sphinx Adventure on the Electron (it came with it) even though its not very well rated, it was the first adventure game I ever saw and I played it for ages.
		in a way it played like a 2d adventure, but you had the freedom of moving the camera about the 3d world which gave it a bit more freedom but with the use of set camera angles you didnt have to go roaming aimlessly about if you didnt want to.
