Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust coming everywhere Fall '08

i also demand an explanation. is it just dirty jokes and a pervy larry chasing tail?

I played "Leisure Suit Larry: Looking for Love in Several Wrong Places" (which I think was the second in the series, the first was Land of the Lounge Lizards), back on my Amiga. And for me, that's when it peaked.

the pc 1 from years and years ago was mildly amusing.

Sierra 'quest'-type games as a whole did have a significant fanbase, and the first couple of Larry games were genuinely funny. At least that's what I remember; haven't played them for at least 12 years now; I might find find the jokes less entertaining now than I did as a kid.

Another part of Larry's initial appeal was that it was one of the first adult-themed games (certainly one of the first well-made ones).

I was actually waiting for the old Larry games to show up on Gametap with the other early Sierra stuff they have to see if they hold up, but it looks like it's not going to happen (by the way, Space Quest is still amusing, but feels a bit like a chore to play now).

Jerk Face,
Why does your face change so much? Every day I look at your face and its from a different angle....and sometimes it says wtf....

The PC versions were good, they were mostly point and click adventures. That version that came out on Xbox a while ago was crap. It was just a bunch of mini-games. The original PC versions had real storylines.

Pun intended?

Ha ha! Oh noes!

It is actually not a movie, but rather an upcommin game called Box office Bust(which is not a pun made up by Joystiq BTW.)

As for it bein like American Pie, you are right. According to the producer of Box Office Bust(link is http://pc.ign.com/articles/846/846123p1.html,) he said that the game will have no nudity. Moreover, it seems that the game reads like an action adventure game where you have to do mission objectives.

Point-and-click is for the weak, AGI ftw. Few things compare to the satisfaction of finding a new word the interpreter understood (especially as English is not my first language).

It sort of sucks if it does play as MCL and I agree that LSL doesn't have to be point and click to be like the old adventure games. If I recall, I don't think Monkey Island four was point and click, then again I can be wrong.

I think Vivendi should license the next game to TElltale since they seem to get it right with Sam and Max.
