Yesterday marked twenty years since Leisure Suit Larry burst on to the computers of pubescent boys everywhere. Boy, how time flies.

Played a few of them...the original was pretty good (both the Amiga and the VGA PC remake), never really got on with 2 & 3 though. From what I remember, 5 was ok, but 6 was the best in the series imo.
Never played 'Love for Sail' either (couldn't get it working under XP), & Magna Cum Laude seemed pretty crappy tbh - blatently designed for consoles.

Anyone ever play the text-based 'Softporn'? iirc, the original LSL was based on it...

I'm not a perv...honest! Just a fan of LSL

btw, "Ken sent me"

Come on, please let this useless character and his utterly useless games disapear in to oblivion and let us all forget all about them and concentrate on games that are actually worth playing.

ps

Did i say that i hate Larry and all his horrid games?

Admittedly, Larry gets pwned by Guybrush. But then again, everyone does.

wow 20 years

i'll raise my glass.
LSL3 spent ages on that trying to figure out how to get the code for the locker (look on the back of the card Doh!!!)

the first 5 (1,2,3,,5,6) were excelent games not going to comment on the last one (all puzzle solving was removed for a crappy dialogue game)

happy b'day Larry keep on swinging

20 years?!! Wow how time flies, I'll raise a glass to the 'ol Larry

PS: Monkey Island, Kings Quest, Larry...but what about Space Quest!!! That series was just awesome, also Police Quest although I didn't really like that one.
ahhhh the memories, I still have most of those games on 5'25 floppy discs
