Leisure Suit Larry 1 - In the Land of the Lounge Lizards

they though i was younger then 18 because i didnt knew what type of bacteria is in AIDS

Got the game bundle on deeeeeep sale a few months ago because I remember my father having this game when I was a kid and wanted to give it a go for nostalgia and it didn't disappoint. A fantastic game for its time, released originally in 1987. It's overall a very short game, and in a way, it almost plays like a single-player DnD, where the game is the dungeon master so to speak, and said dungeon master kept the storyline quite simple and quick, with somewhat strict rules on what can and can't be done. Puzzle based point and click. It's similar to most/all of the classic Sierra point and clicks like Kings Quest, Police Quest, etc., and in fact there are some crossover references from said games. Be sure to save often, because you can die, and the causes of dying are generally meant as gags about how you died, so if you save often you won't feel like the game cheesed you on how you died, since you can just restore a nearby save. You can die basically from random stuff you'd never expect, again, as a gag. Get it on sale, as much as I like it it's not worth full price. If you do get it, apparently you can right click on the game and opt in for a VGA beta version under properties. I just played the classic version but it's probably worth knowing that there's a sort of "remaster" so to speak with the VGA version. Beware if you do get the game, it trolls you pretty hard with an "age verification questionnaire" at the start that most people wouldn't know the answers to. There are guides online with the correct answers for these, or if you are using the VGA version you can press CTRL+ALT+X to skip it. I mention this because a lot of people might just be like "what the f is this" and uninstall. It is jank, but if you can just be patient with that trollish questionnaire and get into the game you're golden. Hope this rant helps thanks for reading

Read before buying

The VGA version of this game comes included with the old one.
Go to properties -> Betas -> VGA version

Info

I bought these games because all of them were on a massive sale, and I wanted to try this series out.
I'm surprised to say that LSL1 is actually a pretty solid game (though definitely aged poorly in some aspects).
The game follows our protagonist Larry - trying to get some "tail" before the night ends. This via increasingly insane and (probably) illegal means. You explore various parts of the city, collect anything that isn't nailed to the ground, and try to rizz some babes.

Pros/cons

Pros

• Great music
  
• Good humour
  
• VGA version included
  

Cons

• Sierra's trademark convoluted design
  
• Unskippable cutscenes (mainly taxi)
  
[*]No autosave

Overall opinion

I've only played LSL 1 and 2 at the time of reviewing, but this one was honestly a blast.
The puzzle design mostly made sense (though some things were still very unclear) and the jokes mostly aged well. It's not super difficult for a Sierra game, and I honestly consider that a good thing. Without a guide of any kind you can probably clear it in about 8 hours - I used some guidance and managed to do it in 3.4 so it didn't get annoying.
Whilst it's not the best adventure game I've ever played - it still did its job. Just don't buy this expecting a highly lewd game as there's very little nudity within the game, and sexual interactions are censored accordingly.

The game itself flows pretty well and the puzzles aren't the most moon logic things known to man. Though it's noteworthy that you *need* to gamble at blackjack (and save scum accordingly) to make enough money to progress. Running out of cash also means an instant game over, so saving is very much a requirement. There are some pitfalls as well, but the game never felt "unfair" to me - so it's fine in that regard.

tldr;

Pretty fun for its age.

Should you buy it?

Sure.

says remake includes original game but only original appears?

An oldie but a goody

Larry is actually so stupid it hurts me that i cannot see his perverted and depraved growth as a character due to its unplayable state

I likely won't even complete this game or put hours into it but bought it for the nostalgia as a kid who truly was young and guessing answers to the questions with my friend as we played this when it released. I can't believe i got my mother to take me to the store to purchase it and literally was able to get away with it without her or the employee shining light to the fact it was an adult game!

It definitely taught me a lot about the benefits of using television as a diversion technique and the consequences of not having prophylactics on hand. I never knew you could die so quickly and that leisure suit Larry could be considered a form of harm reduction if used in sex education. Thanks for the memories Larry!

Stupid fucking age test bullshit fuckery fuck you you stupid ass fuck

Whats your sign baby.

Very oldschool/classic game. I wish steam had a neutral vote rather than up or down, i don't want to slant the game it's just it DEFINITELY has controls from the 90s, no instructions or direction you just have to figure things out, which has it's own charm. Pretty meh game overall.

Without spoiling things, the game is pretty difficult/impossible without spending hundreds of hours of trial and error or looking up things.

10/10 would recommend. Pirated the game back in the 90's and bought it here to pay Al back. I talked to Al and found out that he won't see a penny from the sales on Steam so I sent him a donation on his site. He's a legend! So if you're trying to make good for stealing it back in the day, go to Al's website instead.

A godsent from the late 80s
