------------------------------------------
Nope, not a coincidence that I covered this game for my 69th episode. In fact, you can blame Al Lowe himself as it was his idea! XD
------------------------------------------
Additional Information and Corrections:
* Some time after making this video, GOG.com released a $10 digital download of Leisure Suit Larry 1 thru 6, including BOTH versions of the original game! Point your way here if you want to get them: www.gog.com/gam...
* The copy available on the AppUp website has since disappeared since... well... AppUp kinda disappeared too. :P
* Here's a link to Al Lowe's website where you can check out all kinds of stuff about the Leisure Suit Larry games, along with various other things he's been involved with: www.allowe.com
* Another notable name in the creation of this game is Mark Crowe, who did the graphics. Waitaminute... Al Lowe... Mark Crowe... Coincidence? Probably. ;D
* I mentioned you could beat the game in 20 to 30 minutes minus time spent in the casino if you know exactly what you're doing. This is presuming you also skip all of the text boxes too. If you're actually reading all the text that comes up as you play you'll probably end up closer to the hour mark and if you don't know what you're doing, it'll probably take you a lot longer to figure everything out. :P
* If you fail the copy protection in the VGA version, a window pops up with five buttons you can click on. Each button is essentially just a variation of "Quit". :D

"Sex belongs in the bedroom. Humor belongs in video games." -Al Lowe, in an interview with German magazine GameStar, ca. 2000

Episode 69. I see what you did there.

@jasonblalock4429 6 лет назад

If you never figured it out, the "Details" slider in any Sierra SCI engine game changes how many extra animated objects are onscreen. If you turned it all the way down, you'd see the people at the bar stop moving so much, and things like that, to lower the CPU burden.

+Jason Blalock Ah. That makes sense! :B

I was reading through the official hintbook for the original 1987 version and apparently he kills himself at dawn or about 5:00am, giving you seven hours to complete the game.

Al contacted you?? You must be doing something right! I take this opportunity to thank Mr. Lowe, for been one of the individuals, who made game after game of top quality entertaiment for generations of people interested in computers at the start of home PC revolution. You made things different around the globe; even here, in the rural parts of Finland!

@Pixelmusement 7 лет назад

+Peli Mies Actually, the way it worked is I contacted him when I did Donald Duck's Playground to let him know about my coverage of it and when he replied he suggested doing LSL for Episode 69, which was still 30 episodes away at the time. :B

@pelimies1818 7 лет назад

Thanks for the clarification. Well, he obviously was a fan of your series, which is great! LLLLL was actually one of the very games that I was able to obtain. First game that came with the 8088 EuroPC, was King of Chicago, might want do a review sometimes, tho it was a crappy game compared to giants like LLLLL or Falcon XT. Sorry, Al, but your copy was a pirate. It was the late part of the eighties, and in rural parts of Finland they were selling computers in backroom of shoe shops, and such.. The PC market was picking up speed fast, but the whole business scene was in the hands of few pioneering enthustiasts, and had a distinct appeal and feel, in retrospect. The prior boom of Commodore devices had established a gaming generation that were growing up and Pole Position did not cut it anymore, so PC was there just in the right time to catch the interest (and the wallet). Season's Greatings to all viewers!

The reason why I brought up Commodore, was that C64 started the homecompurization in Finland; It sold really well here; in fact, Finland had most C64s per capita in the world! Something like 10% of the households with underage bought C64 in the first year after launch (1984). Here is a book store add from 1984. It sells the base unit for around $400 (1995 finnish marks). Which was a months salary, or so. Same as now-a-days one would buy a basic iMac+iPad. m.imgur.com/QaTMoJL

That the developers even bothered to include a rudimentary safeguard against kids playing this game is surprisingly wholesome.

I managed to guess my way through the age check questions for LSL 4 when I was maybe twelve. I do recall a question “the Bay of Pigs was:” and their desired answer “a mistake”. The game was underwhelming and I never got far due to never saving a game, being terrified of getting caught and certain that someone would find my save file :D

@ChristopherSobieniak 6 лет назад

Leisure Suit Larry is kinda like a Warner Bros. cartoon, perhaps the Private SNAFU shorts they did for the Army during WWII, which also had tons of innudendo.

@BdR76 9 лет назад

Lazy Larry was a very popular game in The Netherlands but many people had a pirated copy. I remember back in july 1988 a serious investigative news show on tv (called "Brandpunt") warned about illegal copies of Larry containing a virus. There even were rumours that the virus would only be activated when you finished the game.

@EdmondDantes224 Год назад

Incidentally, its too bad that when you had the chance to talk to Al Lowe, you didn't warn him to make sure that there's not an evil scientist's personality on the floppies of Leisure Suit Larry 4.

@Pixelmusement Год назад

All I did was eMail him; You could probably tell him yourself if you really wanted to. ;)

Un hunh. Go ahead and believe that if you want but to put in perspective how much my mind doesn't work that way, I used to believe that the phrase "send nudes" meant to send nude people to someone's home; My brain doesn't go for the naughty joke right away because quite frankly, I barely know any of them! :P

This is the first adventure game I've ever played! Not that I made much progress, not knowing English.

@Folgemilch21 9 лет назад

you have way too few subscribers and views.. you deserver much more

How "Can-Can" they think that was a good idea :D "Nothing" Me :(

@EdmondDantes224 Год назад

For some reason I never watched this review until now. In general I tend to prefer Sierra's originals over the remakes, though I think its just a case of liking whatever version I experienced first (Space Quest I, the only case where I prefer the remake, is also a case where I played the remake first). Quest for Glory is the only time I feel the original is objectively superior. As for Larry, from what I understand the collection "Ultimate Pleasure Pack" is the one to look out for... it is also probably the hardest one to get. I myself have the Collection Series release, which to me is fine as its consistent with the rest of my collection. The only thing is that its missing the final LSL game, Love for Sail, though that's easy enough to get separately.

I never finished this game... still a great game

I think these days a lot of people playing these games will play them using SCUMMVM, that's how GOG package them. I just tried pressing Alt-X in the game on my Mac and that didn't work. In DOSBox, Alt is mapped to Option on the Mac keyboard, perhaps this doesn't work the same way on the Mac, so I'll have to try it on my Windows 10 PC and see if it works there, otherwise I'll have to resort to using my Amazon Echo or Google Home to answer the questions. I have to say that the age verification is the reason I've never been able to play these games despite buying them on GOG in 2013.

@Pixelmusement 5 лет назад

+Lachlant1984 Mac keyboards didn't originally have an alt key on them, so generally speaking with older software, DOS/Windows Alt = Mac Option. It's not only like this in DOSBox but with most software ported from DOS/Windows to Mac.

@PhantomFellows 4 года назад

The age verification questions aren’t google-proof :)

@Lachlant1984 3 года назад

@@PhantomFellows I'm sure they're not. And I suspect they're not Alexa proof either. Back when I first bought this game, I didn't realise I could just press alt-enter to switch to windowed mode and then open my web browser.

While I've never played a Leisure Suit Larry game in my life, I can understand how depressing it is being a fan in this day n age, with that appalling Xbox360 game, and that kickstarted HD remake that suffered poor reviews from critics, for being an ugly mess.
