And now...the next exciting episode of humanoids in space!
How did you, a regular at Joe's Bar in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, end up on a Martian moon? Can you prevent the hideous space creature from abducting the naked heiress? Why does scratch 'n' sniff #2 smell so familiar? How many uses can you find for a rubber hose? Is it easy to remove a brass bikini? Is it hard to outsmart a robotoid sumo wrestler? Can you stop the Leather Goddesses' fiendish plan to turn all Earthlings into sex slaves?
Learn the answers to these burning questions in LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS, Infocom's racy spoof of 1930's pulp fiction. But first, a word from our sponsor:
Why put up with only one playing mode, when you can have three! That's right, three! So whether your tastes run to Tame, Suggestive, or Lewd, LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS can satisfy you!

Leather Goddesses of Phobos Review
LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS (NA / ââââ) may be Infocom's most outrageous piece of interactive fiction yet. The text game at standard level is described as a comedy take-off on science fiction pulp of the 1930's with a generous sprinkling of sex, but somehow everything but the word "sex" has been ignored by those waiting for the game's release. . . .

Infocom Intrigue in Leather Lovers Shock Horror! News
Ol' Whitey had hardly recovered from Brian Moriarty's Trinity hitting the stands when news of Steve Meretzky's latest creation, The Leather Goddesses of Phobos, arrived at my humble abode. As the title suggests, this is like no other Infocom game, though Steve's humour is obviously at work. It's the first 'adult' game to have come from this stable and, having seen a preview copy, I'm intrigued. Very! . . .

Leather Goddesses of Phobos Review
Once again Infocom has come through with an innovative work of interactive fiction. Although the company's particular brand of humor has been present to some degree in all of its games, only twice before â- in Planetfall and in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (both by Steven Meretzky) â- has Infocom attempted science fiction comedy. Leather Goddesses is, of all things, a science fiction sex comedy. . . .

LGOP and Planetfall Solid Gold at $14.95 News
During the past year, we have begun to confer Solid Gold status on certain venerable titles. These are best-sellers which have begun to slow down. In some ways, our Solid Gold software can be compared to paperback books â- the whole game is there but in a simpler package. However, in the case of Solid Gold software, we're adding something more â- on-screen hints. At $14.95 retail, these wonderful old titles are getting a second life and attracting a new group of computer owners to interactive fiction. . . .
