Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals

Leisure Suit Larry 3 is an interesting entry in the series as it has the player control two different characters (Larry and Patti) over the course of the game.

It's also well-known for ending in such a way that Al Lowe had no idea how to continue the story for 4 - until he hit upon the idea to skip it and do 5 instead.
