Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Larry Laffer is one wild and crazy guy, especially around the ladies. For more than a decade, Sierra has published Leisure Suit Larry titles, selling upwards of 3 million copies of the lowbrow adventure games. Now all the gorgeous gals and hilarious hijinks are available in one CD-ROM with Leisure Suit Larry's Ultimate Pleasure Pack. It includes both the CGA and VGA versions of the title that got the party started: Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards and Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places). Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals lets the player experience life as both Larry and Patti, making it the first computer adventure that offers a sex change. Al Lowe, Larry's creator, promised after volume three that there wouldn't be a volume four, which takes us to Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work, with the innovative Grope-'n'-Click interface and the now famous Bodily Function Keys. Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! contains all the pathetic pickup lines, scathing comebacks, and '70s mood music Leisure Suit Larry connoisseurs have come to expect. Lastly, there is Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail!, which includes scratch-'n'-sniff smells and a feature that allows you to include your voice and face in the game (don't ask). As an added bonus, play five Vegas-style games while chatting over the Internet in Leisure Suit Larry's Casino.

Warning: the Leisure Suit Larry games are for mature audiences; they contain adult humor, sexual innuendo, risqué implications, and mature situations.

If you have bought this game and are trying to install it on your windows system. The LSL 1-5 were DOS/Windows 95 games, and for you to install them on your windows 98/98se/ME/2000 system. You have to do the following:

1. When you run the installer, it will ask you if you want to do a system test on Larry 1 VGA-Larry 7. Say no to the system test, the system test only works for Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, it does not work for Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000.

2. Once you say no to the system test, the program will show you what the system test skipped. When it asks you if you want to install Larry 1 VGA-Larry 7, individually of course, say yes. Then after the install, you should be able to run these old DOS (Larry 1 VGA to Larry 5) on your Windows machine.

I found this out the hard way, by calling a Sierra tech support person. If this has helped you in any way, please let Amazon know, this is a great game series once you can getting it working on your Windows pc.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Wish My Life Were This Fun, June 15, 2001

Poor Larry. With his mind stuck in the 1970s, he has a lot of trouble with women. But, man, he has an interesting life.

This package collects all 6 games (there was no #4 for some mysterious reason). In the first game, Larry's primary goal is to get laid. Filled with ribald humour, this game was revolutionary for its time. Instead of an adventure game comprised of just text or perhaps a few static illustrations, you actually got to see everything happening to your "3D" character (now very 2D by today's standards). The parser driven gameplay could be frustrating when you didn't know how to type a command so the computer would understand it, but it also added more humour since you could type ANYTHING (and the game usually had good responses), and you couldn't guess by just clicking different inventory items on hot spots. (Also included is the remake of #1 with a point-and-click interface and better graphics). At this point Larry was just a pathetic loser who was fun to laugh at, but elicited little sympathy.

With #2, the designer, Al Lowe, decided that people played the game in order to watch an interactive movie. As a result, the game is WAY too linear, and there is no flexibility on how to get through. But now Larry was on a quest for true love, vs. just cheap thrills, and started to become more sympathetic. We also meet Passionate Patti, a recurring love interest.

As a result of negative reactions to #2's linear gameplay, #3 is more non-linear (although divided into chapters). Since Larry now has a girlfriend, the goal with #3 is changed. In this one, playing as both Patti and Larry, the player has to try to reunite the two and defeat a mad scientist. Getting laid is no longer the main goal, and except for the ribald humour, this is more like a typical adventure game. This was also the last of the parser driven games.

With #5, the series began using a point and click interface. Like most such early games, this makes it TOO easy. And, for some dumb reason, the game is again totally linear (although the order in which the chapters can be played is more flexible). Now the player just needs to randomly click items on hot spots. Suffering from partial amnesia (due to the missing #4), Patti and Larry have mysteriously become parted. Once again, playing as both characters, Larry reverts to trying to get laid while Patti tries to bring down the mob in her role as an undercover agent, and at the end the two are reunited as their paths cross.

With #6, the series returns to basics. For some unexplained reason, Patti is no longer around. Larry wins a stay at a Hellish health spa he cannot leave and tries to get laid. With this game, the puzzles are slightly more challenging, but still not very. But the humour is now back on course, making it a fun game once again.

#7 is the best in the series, having some of the most complex puzzles of the series. It is like a dirty version of Monkey Island with Larry trying to get laid on a cruise ship after finding a lost passenger ticket. The interface is also really cool. The game can be completed using point-and-click, but you also have the option of using a parser interface to uncover hidden jokes. It is also the funniest of the bunch, and the most risque. #7 left me anxiously waiting to see what they would do with #8 (one of the rumours was that they would use photographic images of real women for the female characters), but, alas, Sierra decided to do away with all its adventure game titles except Gabriel Knight for some ridiculous reason.

#7 is worth the price of this collection alone. #6 and #1 are also very good. #3 is decent, and #2 and 5 are not the best. The graphics on the earlier games are primitive, but are still charming, and to me, the gameplay is more important. Even though some of the less-well designed games can be completed quite quickly, with all 6 games, you get many hours of gameplay, and you will likely find yourself playing all (but #2) over and over to get at all the hidden jokes. It is even worthwhile playing both versions of #1 since there isn't 100% correspondence in the jokes, and both are unique experiences.

I have been a fan of the larry series for a long time. I've played all of them and this package includes them all for a nice price. The story is basically a loser who constantly wears a leisure suit is on a mission to score. Score by any means nessaccary. I think this package deal will give you hours of entertainment. Especially the latest addition the Leisure suit larry 7. In my opinion 7 is the best of all with the best graphics and challengs it is extremly funny. So i would defenetly recommend this sex comedy game to anyone who enjoys a good challege or some crude humor or both.
