Score: 10

Ok, ok... I thought this game kicked ass as soon as I started playing it. I've been a big MUDder for the past three years, so I'm very used to text-based commands. Just like most of the other people that reveiwed this, I couldn't find the beer money. I went back and read all the reviews (119 at the moment) and have decided to just quickly go over any troubling part in the game. The only reason I'm doing this is because I think this game really deserves a 5/5 score, but there are idiots that want the game blammed because they can't figure out how to do stuff that is more than likely going to be found in a past review. Ok... Here goes:
Basic commands: Get, talk, look, buy.
Typing just the command doesn't do anything. If you want to open the door in the beginning, type 'open door', not 'open'.
In the first room, look at the bed clostest to the door. It'll give you a hint at what to do, then type 'piss bed'. In the same room, go to the window, and look out it. Type 'piss cat' and you'll get s'more points.
The beer money is right under the 'BATHROOM' sign. Walk up to the grid-thingy and type 'get mail'. Luckily, your mother sent you 20 bucks! After the bum buys the beer, go to that trashcan in front of the college and type 'look trash'. Be sure to get the backpack first, though.
Typing 'moonwalk' in the game puts you in moonwalk mode (which is REALLY funny!). That's the only way I can get down the Frat house stairs, for the people that were angered by that.
Go to the trees in front of the library, and look at them. They say something amusing, then type 'piss tree' to get a few more points.
In the library, go to the right side shelf, and type 'look book' and you'll get a magazine. I really don't know what it's for...
Another thing I know nothing about - Those damned locked doors. Hmm...
Ok, the rest should be common sense.. I hope. I hope this review will nullify all the people that don't like the game because they couldn't figure it out. Maybe this'll show people the importance of reading past reviews when confused.
A few suggestions before I end this terribly long thing:
Like some others sayed before, this game would be even better with sound. I never played the original Leisure Suit Larry games, but they may of not have sound, and you wanted the game to live up to its' predecesors.
I also think the 'CENSORED' bar should be moved. I'm not tryin' to be perverted, but it would of been better, and it'd really win more votes from the perverts (Wait. Maybe I am a pervert... Heh.). Oh, and the horny librarian is great!
Thanks for reading this, and I hope I haven't angered anybody for posting this incredibly long review... Bye!
