Larry the lounge lizard computer game
With that theme, Al Lowe (the original brain behind Larry) really left his footprint in the gaming industry with this first edition of the Leisure Suit Larry series. The game features all sorts of adult subjects like, pimps and hookers, drunk hobo's, violence, bondage and perhaps the worst of all: a ceremony in which two people are united in matrimony. If you haven’t guessed so by now, this really is a game for adults. Who says you need Sex-Ed when you got Leisure Suit Larry growing up! It also made me believe for years that practicing unsafe sex would end up with my genitals flashing all the colours of the rainbow before dropping dead.

It taught me for example how condoms work and even how to inflate a blow-up doll. And if you make the mistake of playing this game at an age too young, LSL1 will teach you some valuable life lessons.
Just like the real-life, you need to win at the casino before you can purchase those ribbed and strawberry flavoured condoms. It’s also integrated in the game to keep your funds up high enough to buy the required items.
There are slots to play with, but the best part is the game of blackjack. LSL1 also has a great side-game which you can find in the casino.
Don’t expect any elaborate challenges, but puzzles like, getting a rose and giving it to a girl, give whiskey to a person to receive something else. While moving Larry around and using typed commands, you progress through the story. Inside that main goal, also lies the core of the puzzles. The majority of the puzzles, revolve around meeting and attempting to pick up hot chicks. Other scenes can be covered by foot, like the alley side of Lefty’s and the wedding chapel. A true disreputable, shabby and dirty bar, but more importantly, the place to be around happy hour! From there you can visit several other locations by taxi, like the casino, a disco and a convenience store. You start out in the fictional city of Lost Wages at a bar called Lefty’s. The plot of the game is basically about helping the anti-hero (although giant loser would be more fitting) finding true love while losing his virginity along the way.

And although most jokes may be poor, they still managed to make me crack a smile. Well maybe that's a terrible comparison, but at least it's in line with the typical humour displayed in the Leisure Suit Larry games. Not shy of delivering sexist and racist puns and begging for you to play with him. It’s much like having a dirty old neighbour, cracking all these rude jokes. Go for the original experience and don't settle for anything less, even if the original doesn't look like much for current standards.īut don’t be fooled by looks, because underneath it’s old age and the grubby appearance, there lies a true golden oldie. But do yourself a favor and just skip those. The 1991 VGA version and Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded from 2013. In the meantime, there have also been two remakes. And although it's very simplistic for the here and now, back in the days it felt amazing to move your character around and let him do stuff by typing the appropriate commands. It also uses the oh so lovely “Adventure Game Interpreter” (AGI). It’s loosely based upon the 1981's game Softporn Adventure (displaying skimpy dressed Sierra employees on its cover!). This game is actually one of the older gems of Sierra and was published in the year 1987. Yes, welcome in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. The cheesy music, accompanied with two-and-a-half colours active on screen and an intro featuring a dork in a white tuxedo, chasing what appears to be, a blow-up doll. The moment you start up this game, you know you're in for a treat. Views: 9941 Screenshots Review by beranmuden ()
