I'm not sure this is all that stupid. The Leisure Suit Larry games were pretty funny. I'm sure it won't be as violent, but I bet the driving cars and the such will be similiar. Maybe more like the Simpsons Hit & Run games.

i am fully aware that this invloves pandering to the 80's youth's sence of nostaglia... and i really dont care...

playing leisure suit larry while going through puberty is one of those experiences that i wouldn't trade for the world

Leisure Suit Larry was the first game I actually paid for. Well worth the time to try and get the little digital guy laid.

I'm w/ you low_dazzle except I didn't even understand half the stuff when I played it. But boy was that a fun game.

Not stupid

let me guess. The submitter is in high school?

Ah, my roommates and I wasted many, many evenings with Leisure Suit Larry my freshman year of college.

No, this is stupid 'cause slashdot said it was cool a while ago

ducks

Ditto. First Leisure Suit Larry game I played was #7 (Love for Sail), and this was when I was like 10 - so I didn't get any of the jokes except the most obvious, but I loved it. Especially the easter eggs. Animated nudity is still nudity when you're a pre-teen.

Just because its going to be GTA like doesn't mean that it will be GTA.

They could be using the game-engine ... I doubt they will be going for realistic graphics, rather, sticking with the whole cartoon look.

Al Lowe has nothing to do with this new game.

I just remember being bummed when my mom wouldn't let me buy "The Leather Goddess of Phobos" which purported to be related to Leisure Suit Larry.

And why stupid? There's SOOOOO much potential there.

Now if they would bring back Space Quest, I would be happy.

You can download some of Al Lowe's early games here.

Leisure Suit Larry without Al Lowe is like Not taking the condom off after sex with the hooker!

(Any Die Hard Larry fan will get that joke...)

Wasn't "Lust in Space" the tentative title for Leisure Suit Larry 8?

crosses fingers

Yea, it's pretty sad that nobody knows who Leisure Suit Larry is. I talk about the games and everybody in school is like "WTF? Sounds retahded."

Stupid? This is awesome!

Own up! Who called this stupid?

A "stupid" tag? Good god, man! What would you prefer? Daiktana 2?

I still remember playing the original Leisure Suit Larry. Trying to get him laid in the city of Lost Wages. The monochrome cga graphics were nothing to look at, but the lines in the story were great!

Your breath smells like the inside of a glove.

Oh now where did I put my breath spray?

I hate GTA. I liked Leisure Suit Larry, although the last time I played it was when I was 8.

Now, if I can find it for free...

stupid??? fark YOU

wooooooooooh! Larry Returns!

Don't you just wish Sierra would admit that they died years ago and just go away?

now if we can just get spacequest back.

Stupid? More like . Sounds like the submitter isn't old enough to have even played the first one.

Ya who's the asshat who put this as "stupid", LLA was the shiat...and if you think otherwise you'll probably won't make it far in life...so you should probably just go kill yourself now.


"Oh my god, is he advocating suicide?"

I only had one of them, but it was fun. Should be interesting what see what they do with it.

Not stupid.

Thanks azakendt!
I like this mp3 most of all:

I'm just praying that Lucas Arts starts making good graphic adventure games again. Escape from Monkey Island was such a let-down.

And am I the only one who really enjoyed LOOM, even if it was too short?

Stupid?? LSL was a great niche market, hilarious adventure games that people actually enjoyed playing, and men (and some women) got a kick out of. My wife hates pornography, but likes the LSL games. Nothing stupid about this at all. Long live polyester!

It doesn't pander to 80s youths -- the first one was release in 1991. 90s youths.

I hope it won't be long before Phantasmagoria (another Sierra classic) gets another sequel.

I think this would be cool

I loved LSL games back in the day

Holy crap, there was a LSL7? Gotta get me some of that, even if it's as awful as I imagine it is.

Loom was absolutely brilliant. It may not have been too difficult as a game, but as a sort of interactive movie it was wonderful. And, tangentially, it was responsible for a young me discovering the joys of Tchaikovsky, and he remains my favorite composer to this day.

I like the fact that Serria said that there would never be a 4th L.S.L. After the third one, they jumped right to # five.
no mombo tho...

its 80s youth because in 91 kids from the 80s were almost teens

damn you guys are making mee feel old.

:: goes in search of the games:: I remember seeing previews for these games but could never find them :\

cant wait for another make of it, I hope there as good as the originals looked.

I think the submitter put the "Stupid" tag in since (s)he seems to have gleaned from the article that LSL will be capping hookers, shooting down helicopters with surface-to-air missiles and running drugs for the local kingpin. I think the article blurb was making a reference to Grand Theft Auto since it's likely that this LSL game will be a free-roaming concept in a large-scale, interactive environment.

I am so very happy to hear Larry is coming back!

Hmm... sounds like it will resemble LSL in name only... truely sad.

For those of you that are Sierra game fans (especially the older ones) check out Sierra On-Line Fan Site set up by founder Ken Williams.

Not Stupid. Cool! I remember play in the Land of Lounging Lizards. Remember the "age verification" system in the beginning? That was before I discovered the secret key combination that allowed you to bypass that screen. Funny thing is, I played that game the other day for nostalgia reasons. But alas, even though I said I was 22 I didn't know all those wonderful "Kennedy era" questions. So I had to cheat again.... *grumble* I'm looking forward to this new one. *wonders what it will be like*

Now if they only bring back day of the tentacale

"Grass green, I hate that color."

Now if they only bring back day of the tentacale

WTF, a Garner Ted Armstrong-style game?
I gotta get out more.

Who's the ass-munch who said stupid?
