Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail! (1996)
Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail! is a 1996 adventure video game made by Sierra On-Line.
Larry Laffer wins a cruise aboard the PMS Bouncy and finds the ship run by the commanding Captain Thygh, who dares her passengers into a contest of seduction and sport. Al Lowe's seventh Leisure Suit Larry keeps its middle-aged loser afloat among sun decks, lounges, and a boatful of eccentric guests, each puzzle wrapped in a double entendre. It leans hard on wordplay, cartoon slapstick, and Larry's endless, doomed confidence. A late-nineties point-and-click comedy that knows exactly how silly it is and never apologizes for it.

A few thoughts on Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail!
For more comic seafaring, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides chases treasure and mermaids with a wink, and The Jewel of the Nile sends bickering adventurers into exotic scrapes. Neither is as bawdy as Larry, but both share his taste for a cruise gone sideways and a hero out of his depth.
Set sail: seafaring adventures on screen
Love for Sail traps Larry on a cruise ship full of eccentrics, so ride the same waves. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and The Jewel of the Nile serve swashbuckling romance, Samurai Pirate brings pulpy high-seas fantasy, and The Sea Wolf and the novel Into the Blue keep the salt spray coming.
Story-driven games to play next
Underneath the double entendres, Larry 7 is a puzzle-driven comedy of manners at sea. For games that put story and character first, The Walking Dead and Life Is Strange run on your choices, Detroit: Become Human branches every scene, and The Last of Us tells a road-worn tale with heart.
Timeless games everyone should try
Once you dock, these classics are worth the trip. Ocarina of Time set the mold for 3D adventure, Super Mario Bros. 3 is platforming perfection, Shadow of the Colossus turns each boss into an event, and Baldur's Gate III and Hades headline the modern greats.
