It had no protagonist, little or no plot, almost no text, understood almost no input. Was it out of date! Its goal was to score three women during one night in Las Vegas. Since I hadn't played the game in years, I said I’d have to take a copy home and play it before deciding. Ken suggested I do an up-dated version, with "modern hi-res, 3-D" graphics, music, everything? We realized there were no games on the market that were adult in nature - everything was "save the princess" or "save the galaxy." We reminisced a little about the old days and Softporn came up. In late 1986, I had just finished programming Roberta Williams’s King’s Quest III, and was talking with Ken Williams about my next project. The jokes are mostly stupid, but you’re getting exactly what you expect and as long as you take it at face value, you’ll have a good time.Al Lowe on the creation of Leisure Suit Larry: Though I’m much older now, replaying this game still makes me chuckle. When I first played this game I was probably 13 or 14 and the setting, scenario and jokes really appealed to me. Seeing as this is a Sierra game there are numerous ways you can fuck up and die, but the death scenarios are typically pretty funny and add a bit of replayability to the game. As this is an adventure game you must travel to various locations (via a taxi) to get various items to try and help you accomplish your goal (flowers, chocolates, wine, condoms … etc). Progressing through the game involves meeting women and trying to convince them they like you so they’ll hook up with you. Seeing as the game was written by Al Lowe, none of this should come as a surprise, but you may as well know what you’re getting into. I chose to play the latter for this review to hopefully capture some … uh … better screenshots :PĮverything in this game boils down to toilet humor (sometimes literally), dick and fart jokes and innuendo. The game was originally released as a text parser game, but was later re-released as a point and click adventure with updated graphics. Unless you were born in the late 70’s or early 80’s you’re gonna need Google to answer these dated questions The game’s overall plot and basic structure follow that of Softporn Adventure, Sierra’s own 1981 Apple II text adventure (that did not feature Larry as the main character). Land of the Lounge Lizards establishes several elements which recur in the later Leisure Suit Larry games, including Larry’s campy attire, perpetual bad luck with women, and penchant for double-entendres. The game’s story follows a middle-aged male virgin named Larry Laffer as he desperately tries to “get lucky” in the fictional American city of Lost Wages. Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is the first installment in Sierra’s Leisure Suit Larry series.
