Description
Shape Up or Slip Out! is the fifth game in
Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series. All the events from the previous games are forgotten. Larry is once again single, and again his goal is to capture the interest of various ladies. By sheer coincidence, Larry finds himself on a TV Game Show called "Stallions". He wins a weekend at the Spa Resort, La Costa Lotta. Naturally, there are some beautiful women in the spa who are just dreaming about such a wonderful, handsome man as Larry! Uh... or is it really so? It is the player's goal to find out!
This instalment focuses more on conversations with women and puzzles than on the storyline. The entire game is spent at La Costa Lotta. There are plenty of traditional inventory-based puzzles to solve in the game. Larry can die, but the player is allowed to try again every time that happens, without the need to restore a saved game. This is also the first Larry game with SVGA graphics, and voice-overs in the CD version.

Trivia
Although the game didn't include EGA graphics support, it is possible to get the DOS floppy disk version of the game to work in EGA mode thanks to Sierra's flexible development system. If you copy the file EGA640.DRV from another of Sierra's point 'n' click adventure games into the directory where Larry 6 is installed, you can then run the install program and select EGA 640x200 16 color graphics (note that you need to use the driver from games which include EGA and MCGA/VGA support in the same package, this trick won't work with the drivers from games that were available in separate packages for 16 and 256 colors. Some games that will work are
King's Quest VI and the remake of
Police Quest 1). Of course, the 16 color graphics don't look quite as good as the 256 color graphics even though a slightly higher resolution is used, so there isn't much practical application for this trick; even when the game was first released, there weren't many people left who still had EGA cards in their machine which is probably why Sierra didn't bother including the driver with the game.
