Description

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is the first game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series, largely inspired by the text adventure Softporn Adventure.

Larry, the game's protagonist, is a short, tacky, balding, leisure suit-wearing kinda guy who's constantly searching for his next score. His combination of stupidity and brashness gets Larry into trouble. The object is to get him out of trouble in traditional adventure fashion, finding and manipulating objects as you thread your way through the story line. The content is comedic and adult-oriented. A graphical interface is used with a text parser to input commands. Typical of Sierra games, progress is tracked through a set amount of points, awarded for advancement or minor actions.

Trivia

The Russian version of the game makes so many changes (especially in the dialogues), that sometimes it seems to be a different game. All the puns and jokes based on the American culture have been replaced by Russian/Soviet ones, including the questions at the beginning. Just a small example: upon entering the bar, Larry can talk to the girl sitting nearby. In the Russian version, Larry says (with a heavy text accent): "Hi there, girl! I'm Givi! Givi Lafferadze!" For those who don't understand what the hell it means, "Givi" is a typical Georgian name, and so is the ending "-dze" for family names. In countless jokes and stories of the Soviet epoch, the Georgians were considered the most successful seducers.
