THE BOBBIT BUG In all versions of Leather Goddesses of Phobos it is possible to detach parts of your body by putting them on one of the black circles However unlike a similar bug in Hitchhikers Guide this one only works with your naughty bits
You have three naughty bits all three of which are referred to as naughty bits by the game and each of which can be placed on a circle separately One represents the male genitalia one the female genitalia and the third represents the mammalian glands You have the same three naughty bits regardless of whether or not you are playing the game as a male or a female If you really want to know all the synonyms the game uses for these you can either use the infodumpexe utility to list the games vocabulary or look at the raw HTML file of this page and look for a comment tag Im not mentioning them here as this list is staying Gstring ratedAck Grated
If you put a naughty bit on a circle it will disappear just like any other item For example
>PUT BOSOM ON CIRCLE
You get all crosseyed trying to follow the nondimensional journey of your naughty bits into the black circle When you get your eyeballs untangled again your naughty bits is gone
Ouch Just like any other item placed on the circle it will be waiting for you at the other end when you teleport through the circle and will be listed on the item line after the room description For example after the room description it might say You can see your naughty bits here or You can see your naughty bits and a blanket here If you put all three on the same circle and then teleport through you will be told You can see your naughty bits your naughty bits and your naughty bits here
However you will be unable to interact with said bit or bits for the rest of the game Any attempt to do so when they are in the same room with you gives the standard reply You dont need to refer to your naughty bits to complete LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS A generic TAKE ALL command will not work either
Once you have left your naughty bits behind no pun intended you will be unable to interact with them for the rest of the game If you try to EXAMINE BOSOM for example after leaving it behind you will be told You cant see any bosom here rather than the generic message about not needing to refer to it
As mentioned trying to do this with any other body part does not work and gives you insulting messages like Its the looney bin for you if you try After fixing a similar bug in the first release of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Infocom presumably was on the lookout for such things in the future until a game came along with body parts not included in previous games
