Leisure Suit Larry Turns 20!

Happy Birthday, Larry! One of Al Lowe's dedicated fans lets us know that on June 4, 1987, Sierra shipped Leisure Suit Larry in The Land of the Lounge Lizards to retail. Where it bombed. At first. Then the little adventure game about a sleazy, hapless, dateless schmo became one of Sierra's most popular series.

And then Vivendi ran it into the ground. Between an awful PlayStation spinoff, a botched PC collection, and a... a... cell phone game, age has not been kind to Larry Laffer. But that's okay, because we'll always have our memories. Ah, the pretend sexual exploits I had when I was 12. Thank you, Al.

First time I played, I died of AIDS!

oh man, i remember that game. I remember their age verification to make sure you were old enough was asking you questions that only an 18+ year old would know. Too bad we can't use that age verfication scheme these days!

Played LSL:Magna Cum Laude on xbox, kinda sucked.

awesome game... I used to play it at work for hours back in 92. :uhoh

A buddy showed it to me and he had been playing it for months before he realized you could actually get in the cab and go places. :1orglaugh

I'd have to disagree with you, Magna Cum Laude was one of the best offerings the leisure suit larry franchise has had for a long time. love for sail was pretty good, but other than that, land of lounge lizards was pretty much the best...

What a trip down memory lane! I've played the "LSL" Super VGA version and so on!

I've never heard of this game lol I guess im to young. I wanna play!!

Loved that game... turn up the xplicitness.... too funny

Man I loved the sierra games back in the day. Kings Quest, LSL, So you want to be a hero. hehe good shit.

the guy in the convenient store is hilarious too makes everyone look as yer buyin some crazy style condoms rofl


btw I used to play it on the Tandy 1000

I never actually got to play it..I was too sure my parents wouldn't find out and I never found a download copy on the 'net that actually worked.

After playing the first one I always pay taxi drivers.. the new one might be fun.

classic! :)
they made up to Larry 7 or so if i remember right?

I think I still have it on a few 5 1/4 's

haha great game

I was spending hours playing Where in the World In Carmen San Diego? at the time it was popular. I partially attribute that game to how good I am at researching.

oh man, that was a classic! LOL

lol we played them for quite a while back in the day.

hehe i used to play it when i was like 12 as well, awesome game... the originals anyway, i haven't played the last one.

lol, they were always great. The first ones were really hard! no pun intended

oh, that's awesome. I have been trying to find that game for a while now. I used to love playing that back in the day. I tried that one they came out with for playstation and it was le balls. The originals were so good.

OMG, it was on 5.25 floppies :) We wasted HOURS at work when that damn thing came out.

i wasn't born yet when this game came out!

lol...

I played that game back in 1989 from a 5.25" floppy disk on a monochrome monitor, using a hercules graphics card.

good times, good times...

awesome ... This game it's a legend
