Leisure Suit Larry: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards was one of the first graphic adventure games made by Sierra On-Line. Lovable loser Larry Laffer sets out on a quest to get some action in the city of Lost Wages.

Overview

Larry's Quest Begins
Larry's Quest Begins
Leisure Suit Larry chronicles the (mis)adventures of Larry Laffer, an unemployed, virgin, computer programmer who sets out to have a wild night in the city of Lost Wages.  The game was known for both its sexual subject matter, which was considered quite controversial, and its humor.  The game was created by Al Lowe for Sierra Online, and is actually a remake of an earlier Sierra published text-based adventure game called Softporn.  Leisure suit larry took the anonymous protagonist of softporn and added graphics and humor while keeping most of the same basic puzzles intact. 

Controversy and Age Check

Aren't We All?
Aren't We All?
When the original EGA version was released, the game came with an "age check" to make sure that players were over 18.  Rather than ask for a birthday however, the game instead asked several trivia questions that kids in the mid 80s were unlikely to know the answers to.  Fortunately, hitting ctrl-alt-x would bypass the age check, and go directly into the game.

Trivia

  • Censored? Bummer...
    Censored? Bummer...
    The original Softporn release was the only game Sierra published with no graphics.
  • Designer Al Lowe had gotten sick of generic "You can't do that" or "I don't understand" messages from parser engines, so he wrote a logging function into test copies of the game. This would keep track of all the commands that players entered that weren't understood by the system, which he could then go over later on and add funny responses to.
  • This game may well be the first to illustrate the benefits of safe sex.

Larry 1 has been released in two different editions. The original AGI version was a parser based game that required players to use the keyboard to enter commands for Larry to perform (e.g. "pick up remote control").

The game was later remade using Sierra's SCI point and click system where icons docked at the top of the screen correspond to various actions. The graphics in the remake were also completely upgraded from the 16-color EGA original.
