Leather Goddesses of Phobos

About

Leather Goddesses of Phobos is a 1986 text adventure packed with irreverent humor and absurd sci-fi scenarios. You play a character yanked from 1936 Earth by alien deities scheming to turn the planet into a pleasure dome. Progress requires typing commands to interact with objects and solve puzzles. The game lets you choose between tame, suggestive, or explicit dialogue options, a bold move for its time. Its mix of role-playing choices and text-only exploration leans into slapstick violence and sexual innuendo. The game appears on dozens of 80s computer systems, from DOS to the TI-99/4A. The standout is its unapologetic approach to taboo topics wrapped in chaotic comedy. Despite its age, it remains a shockingly candid example of 80s adventure game writing. The parser handles both logic puzzles and NSFW jokes with equal seriousness. While not for everyone, it carved a niche for itself among fans of retro gaming's wilder edges. Over 35 years later, its audacity still sparks discussions about game content boundaries.
