Here's word on the remake of the little perv's first appearance:
The first
game in the series, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, was
first published in 1987 and helped build the Sierra On-Line dynasty. Featured in
a score of original software titles since then (not even counting numerous
anthologies, repackagings, and cameo appearances), the series' namesake hero,
Larry Laffer, is a bumbling, persistent everyman who just wants to be loved. Is
that so wrong?
With the help of Al Lowe, Larry's progenitor and designer of all of Larry's
classic adventures, Replay Games is remaking the landmark first game for an
entire new generation (or two!). Expanded and enhanced in every detail and ready
for both mobile devices and PCs, Larry is being reborn for the players who
might've seen their parents (or grandparents!) playing Larry behind closed
doors!
Although the games were marketed as "naughty," Al Lowe's Larry was comedic but
never explicit, and the remake retains that standard. There's no full-frontal
nudity, no four-letter words, and no on-screen sex. But we do have our comedic
priorities: Larry is a story of a man on the make, and the game drips with
innuendo, flirts with perversity, and oozes sexuality from every pixelated
pore.
