History VideoGame / LeisureSuitLarry3PassionatePattiInPursuitOfThePulsatingPectorals

* TheLawFirmOfPunPunAndWordplay: The law firm "Dewey, Cheatem & Howe". He meets with Suzi Cheatem to file for divorce (and attempt to seduce her, [[UpToEleven adding another layer to the "cheat" pun]]).

* AlliterativeTitle: ''Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals''.

* PinballScoring: You can earn up to 4000 points, which is quite a lot for a Sierra adventure game, with early ones having up to 200 and later ones up to 1000. Though the demo version suggests it could have been the staggering 1,000,000.

* SocietyMarchesOn: In the HappyEndingOverride, Kalalau has divorced from Larry, and she's now a lesbian with a female lover. The scene was meant to be making fun of Larry being a loser: losing his wife to a ''woman'' instead of to another man was an insult to his manliness. Nowadays, however, an adultery that involves a ComingOutStory for a gay character would be considered an acceptable case in the GoodAdulteryBadAdultery balance.

* UnwinnableByMistake: There is a bit where you need to lift weights in order to buff up. Now, here is the thing: For unfathomable reasons, the amount of lifts are based on the processing power of your computer. In 1989, you needed to do a leisurely 25 push-ups. On a modern computer, without a mod, it can easily go into the thousands. "Use the cursor keys until you work up a sweat" indeed.

* DevelopersForesight: Get the lei very early in the game and give it to Patti. She'll refuse to take it because [[RealityEnsues they're rotten]].

->'''Narrator:''' '''He's back!''' Look out, girls! Just when you thought it was safe to dive back into the gene pool, the original swinger is at it again!

** Even worse is the fact that the number of repeats you have to do in this section is determined by your CPU speed. Playing on anything faster than a 486? Have fun!
** Yes, originally it wasn't that bad. When the game first came out and you played it on the average machine from that era, you only had to do 25 of each exercise...

* CerebusSyndrome: Once Larry woos Patti and finally has sex with her, she accidentally shouts the name of her former lover, sending Larry into utter depression, and ''not'' for laughs. When you really think about it, EVERYONE on the island wants Larry to die, especially people he met from the first two games; all his potential lovers ditch him for some petty reason; and with him (mistakenly) believing that Patti would rather be with her other lover, Larry feels that ''this is the last straw'' and ''wanders off to the bamboo forest to die''. This is when you control Patti and chase Larry down and prove to him that life really is worth living.

* ThemeNaming: All of the women have names ending in "i" (Tawni, Cherri, Suzi, Bambi, Patti ... and even Bobbi, the woman Kalalau leaves Larry for at the beginning).

* DebugRoom: Debug mode is still available which is accessed by typing in "ascot backdrop" and then moving to another room. It can be used to teleport, change the way your character looks, get any item, or letting you type in commands during cutscene.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The [[spoiler:''magic marker'']].

* DebugRoom: Debug mode is still available which is accessed by typing in "ascot backdrop" and then moving to another room. Unfortunately, its usefulness has diminished as all you can do with it is get items. Even trying to teleport crashes the game!

* ImpactSilhouette: Parodied when Patti lands face-first into the ground after falling from a great height, she leaves [[GagBoobs two distinctive round holes in the ground]]. The second time that happens she worries that she may end up flat by the end of the game if that happen again.

The game is available on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/765850/Leisure_Suit_Larry_3__Passionate_Patti_in_Pursuit_of_the_Pulsating_Pectorals/ here]].

* TogetherInDeath: If Patti can't do the final puzzle in time, she and Larry end up dying in a pot together.
