These trips combined with the expensive tastes of your dates will necessitate multiple visits to the Casino where you can try your hand at blackjack and slots to fatten your wad (figuratively speaking). Since the streets of Lost Wages are plagued by thugs and speeding motorists, the only safe way to travel is by taxi. Each girl will need to be wooed in one way or another and you’ll visit locations like a disco, an all night convenience store, a seedy wedding chapel, and the inside of a dumpster in your quest for the items to perform said wooing. Your night begins at Lefty’s Bar in the city of “Lost Wages” and doesn’t end until you’ve bedded three women, one of whom may be the girl of your dreams. Want to look at the hot babe? Crack those knuckles and type LOOK AT HOT BABE. If you boot up the old school edition, you’ll be reliving the glorious days of the text parser. You select an icon (look, touch, taste, etc.) and then click the item you wish to interact with. Both have the same puzzles and jokes (with a few minor exceptions), but the remake looks and sounds prettier and controls with the familiar mouse-centric Sierra interface. The original 1987 16 color version and the “modern” VGA 256 color edition released when Sierra went through their back catalog and tried to squeeze out a few more pennies in 1991. Larry’s first outing, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, comes in two flavors. It took him 4 years and 256 colors, but Lefty finally painted those ugly orange walls.
No actual nudity or profanity is featured, but it is strongly implied. In the age of squeaky clean games like King’s Quest, Larry was a refreshing breath of filth. Of course your physical repulsiveness and penchant for all things disco make this quite a challenge. As Larry, your only desire is to get your groove on with as many fine ladies as possible, no matter what tricky, insane, and hilarious puzzles get in your way. Created in 1987 by former school teacher Al Lowe, Larry was one of the earliest, and easily the dirtiest, of the reoccurring adventure game heroes. That is unless you could somehow get the added pleasure of doing something your parents wouldn’t approve of.Įnter Leisure Suit Larry. Throw a healthy dose of humor into the mix and we’re talking videogame nirvana. Exploring a fully-developed world of interactive objects and, more importantly, unique characters (I’m looking at you Myst) while slowly unraveling an interesting story is my idea of the perfect electronic experience. As I mentioned in my review of the Maniac Mansion NES port, I loves me the adventure games.
