"One of the best Infocom games ever made, Leather Goddess of Phobos a big hit when
it was first released in 1986. In this risque imitation of 1930's pulp fiction, you
are captured by the Leather Goddesses of Phobos. For some reason, you escape, and
with your trusted companion Trent/Tiffany, you tour the Solar System searching for
a collection of incongruous objects, which when put together will form a super-
duper-anti-Leather-Goddesses-of-Phobos-attack-machine.

The game begins by patting itself on the back for the outraged reactions that it
will likely induce in old fuddy-duddies, though truth be told it is not much
dirtier than your average beer commercial (though it is much more clever). The game
has three naughtiness modes for dealing with sex scenes: tame, suggestive, and
lewd. In addition, Lewd mode has one or two 4-letter words, seemingly thrown in out
of some sense of obligation, as they don't mesh very well with Meretzky's humour at
all.

The game wonderfully recreates the feel of 30's pulp fiction, from the swordfight
on the hull of the Space Battleship (without spacesuits, naturally), to the Sultan
and other colourful characters you meet on Mars, to the delightfully contrived
situation at the South Pole, to the marvelous running gag concerning the lucky
escapes of your faithful companion. The final scene where you try to assemble your
machine while under attack by all of the Leather Goddesses minions is one of the
greatest moments in interactive fiction, and one that would be utterly impossible
to reproduce with graphics. I generally enjoy games like Spellbreaker that spread
the action over a wide area, and Leather Goddesses has one of the widest areas
of all, with the action ranging between Venus, Mars, Phobos, Earth, and Saturn
orbit.

Leather Goddesses has some of the best freebies of any Infocom game, including a
3-D comic book, 3-D glasses, and a scratch and sniff card. The game also allows you
to play as either a male or a female, depending on which restroom you enter at the
beginning... All in all, Leather Goddesses of Phobos is one of Infocom's best
efforts. In short, if you want a risqué game that evoke B-movie atmosphere and
never take itself too seriously, Leather Goddess of Phobos is a very funny,
very entertaining game that will keep you hooked." (Home Of The Underdogs)
