3D adventure featuring Larry Lovage (nephew of Larry Laffer) on a detailed 3D college campus. Puzzle-solving and comedic interactions while pursuing head cheerleader Rosie Palmer and competing against boyfriend Chuck Rockwell.

Developed TWICE by two separate TKO studios — the Santa Cruz version was deemed insufficiently raunchy, while the Dallas version was shelved for being excessively raunchy. Featured cel-shaded 3D graphics (a first for N-Gage). Budget was approximately $1.4 million. Nokia producers pushed for increasingly explicit content, creating irreconcilable conflict with the development team. The Dallas version survives in preservation including source code and design documentation. Creative director Jody Hicks still has original design docs.
