Info (Nov, 1987)
It's a quick play if you just play to win, but take your time and inspect everything - the authors are nuts! (And I was surprised to find a scenario from an old risque' Apple text adventure included verbatim). If you like your games funny, Larry is one of the best.

The Games Machine (UK) (Apr, 1988)
The quest to lose Larry's virginity, without catching anything unspeakable, is an entertaining one, wholeheartedly sexist, but nonetheless a jolly good romp (can I say that?).

The One (Feb, 1994)
It seems pretty obvious KIXX will be releasing the sequel some time in the future, so make sure you get that. Larry definitely deserves a meeting, but not in his dated debut form.

ASM (Aktueller Software Markt) (Nov, 1987)
Also, für Jugendliche unter 18 Jahren fällt das Spiel von vornherein flach, aber Leute, die das richtige Alter haben und an der Story gefallen finden, liegen mit LARRY bestimmt richtig. Jedoch müssen sie sieh jedesmal mit der lästigen Fragerei am Anfang herumplagen.

Amiga Format (Apr, 1994)
Sadly, Leisure Suit Larry looks and sounds poor (and it's deathly slow-moving), though some will undoubtedly empathize with Larry's problems.

CU Amiga (Mar, 1994)
Like Cruise for a Corpse, some of these brain teasers are time-based which don't exactly complement the crude parser (you often lose valuable seconds trying to get the game to do exactly what you want). But the difference here is that Leisure Suit Larry doesn't have any redeeming features to compensate for the odd frustrating moment, meaning that you're more likely to use the disks as ashtrays rather than load the damn game up again. Do yourself a favour - pass this by.
Computer Gaming World (CGW) (Nov, 1987)
This game is a lot of fun to play and
is very humorous. What I really
liked in this game is that once you got
the right idea and entered
the action text, a lot of follow-
up actions took place
"automatically." For example,
when you buy a drink
at the bar, you automatically
pay for it. You only enter,
"BUY BEER", instead of
"BUY BEER, GET WALLET,
OPEN WALLET,
PAY FOR BEER" which
you enter in other games. A
lot of other action takes
place as easily and makes the game
flow much better by eliminating
tedium. With good graphics, good
design, and good fun provided, who
needs "good taste"?
