There is a variety of weapons, armor, gadgets, and items to find or purchase. It is also possible to physically navigate a spaceship.

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".
