About the StoryAnd now... the next exciting episode of humanoids in space! Game Details |
Adventure Classic Gaming
"Predictably, the game's overarching plot informs much of its atmosphere and writing style. Every element about this game, from its cover art to its subject matter, evokes the flavor of Hollywood's B movies, including (sometimes deliberately) low production values and racy content. As in most adventure games of that era, most of the settings and puzzles in Leather Goddesses of Phobos do not relate directly to the main plot but are rather a relatively random series of situations and locations involving side quests and the like. [...]
[...] Leather Goddesses of Phobos stands almost in a league of its own as a defining interactive fiction infused with sexual content intended for a mature audience. It is also an example of how naughty or crude humor can still be done both tastefully and with originality. As a defining adventure game of its era, Leather Goddesses of Phobos is worth playing by any gamer who is interested in understanding more clearly from where modern adventure games derive their inspiration."

"Full of suggestive sexual innuendos (Mae West style) and outrageous humor (try everything: the answers you receive are hysterical), this bawdy but harmless game is a delight to play and sure to bring a smile to your face. But nevertheless it is basically a traditional (and very good!) adventure game, with all of the elements that made Infocom legendary in the business ..." (Mr. Bill & Lela)

"I’ll be honest, I don’t like this game much. I’ve played a lot of text adventures, but this one I found a confused mess both back in the day, and replaying it just now." (Richard Cobbett)

"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."

"It's impossible to give more than a brief idea of how good Leather Goddesses of Phobos is. It's very enjoyable, funny and extremely addictive. What more can you want from an adventure?" (Sue)

"The game includes many locations, each with a rich description in any mode. Visiting the penguin orphanage was great, as was steaming up and down the river visiting the various docks. Puzzles are included at regular intervals, meaning that everything must be examined and hidden objects are commonplace. This is where the game really shines, the puzzles become a topic for conversation and a few old film tricks are dug up and used." (Nigel Nock)
