Lucretia, Leisure Suit Larry doesn't make fun of women in general, as you probably noticed, there's only ONE type of women in the game. Also, I couldn't say that men are presented in a glorious fasion <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. Anyway, it's your typical MALE game.
Nevertheless, the best adventure games are Quest for Glory and Monkey Island.

I agree with you, Winterfox (in fact, my father told me the same thing when I watched Heavy Metal 2000 but I already figured that out). No doubt Boris Vallegio is a great artist but I am not fond of the theme nor I read Heroic Fantasy (or Epic Fantasy as called by some). I'd rather read A Song of Ice and Fire and Terry Pratchett.

As for DD and BD cover... I can't say they're the best ever. They aren't bad, though. In fact, I haven't seen many excellent gameboxes except... Arcanum (pulp magazine-like), all Bioware games (KotOR or the simple but straightforward NWN), Freedom Force and Deus Ex 1 (Deus Ex 2 was rather bad).
