IndieGala continues to celebrate a life of leisure, now offering
a giveaway of
Leisure Suit Larry 5 – Passionate Patti Does a Little
Undercover Work (thanks
Ant). The previous promotions with free copies of
Leisure Suit Larry 1 & 2 and
Leisure Suit Larry 3 are
still in effect. If you're wondering why Leisure Suit Larry 4 doesn't get the
free treatment, it's because if doesn't actually exist.
Leisure Suit Larry 4:
The Missing Floppies was never released, and the title is based on a story
about recreating its lost source code. It's not clear if it was actually lost,
cancelled, or was always just an elaborate in-joke, but to this day it remains
as missing as its titular floppies. Here's a description of Leisure Suit Larry
5:
Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work! is (despite the number)
the fourth game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series. The middle-aged
would-be-womanizer Larry Laffer fell off a boat during a cruise and sustained
amnesia, forgetting how he and his sweetheart Patti got separated, how Larry got
a job in LA, how Patti got a job with the FBI, and what happened in (the never
released) Larry 4. Now Larry and Patti are working independently on two cases
that are connected to each other, even though the heroes aren't aware of that.
Larry's new bosses are involved in shady business, while Patti agrees to take a
break from her career as a performing pianist and become an undercover agent.
Will the two be together ever again?
