I remember that across their adventure games, they often put in a lot of Easter Eggs and random cameos from other Sierra games in them. One was Larry showing up in Police Quest 2, where Sonny Bonds goes to an airport. Larry points out a "really hot babe", but when you go over and try to interact, it's actually a guy.

I'm aware of a more modern remake, never played it though. I didn't realize that this games roots were so old.

They released sequels in 2018 an 2020. Both are quite fun (and a lot more forgiving than the originals).

Looks like the Oregon Trail... with hookers.

I died of dysentery? Yeah, well, I'm gonna make my own game... With blackjack and hookers.

Editors note: do not type "get in bed" next to that hooker.

[-]

Mueryk@reddit

It’s more like SpaceQuest, Police Quest, or Kings Quest…….with Hookers.

So Hooker Quest

[-]

Melancolin@reddit

In reality, I’m sure the Oregon Trail DID have hookers.

missnickypearl@reddit (OP)

It looked like this when I first saw it. All green.

[-]

ThepalehorseRiderr@reddit

I looked it up and they've made like ten of em, the most recent seems to be 2018.

[-]

missnickypearl@reddit (OP)

Sounds like it is time for the app.

The_Best_Smart@reddit

The game’s lighthearted and racy tone belied the fact that it was insanely difficult

[-]

Greedy-Invite3781@reddit

Kinda like PoliceQuest

Daryl Gates was the designer after Jim Walls left Sierra. Both were former police officers, although Gates came with a lot more controversy (e.g.: Rodney King).

Holy shit, you just unlocked a memory of a friend and I playing that and making the character go use the restroom. He started singing “Strangers in the Night” and we couldn’t stop laughing.

[-]

Emotional_Signal7883@reddit

Text-based was near impossible. When they remastered with mouse support it was enjoyable.

[-]

MyBurnerAccount1977@reddit

For the old AGI Sierra games, you had to slow down the game speed, usually in-game. I remember having to do this in Space Quest 2 where you had to navigate a maze to go to the next screen, but if you touched the edges, you'd die.

Once they went to SCI, the game actions would pause when typed, making timing a lot more manageable.

Well, more accurately, your penis explodes and Larry commits suicide.

It was actually really fun. Still can’t believe my dad allowed it, lol.

[-]

This series and the Space Quest games were some of my favorites growing up.

My dad thought it was hilarious that you could bang the hooker, but if you didn't wear a condom you would die like two minutes later.

My sister and I played King's Quest and the Quest for glory (Hero's Quest) all the time growing up. I've played Space Quest and Larry once they got to steam but it wasn't the same as joking and laughing with my sister.

The jump from AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter) to SCI (Sierra's Creative Interpreter) was a huge shift in interface, graphics, and gameplay. The older AGI games had a certain charm when you consider what they could pull off with low resolution graphics and a 16 color palette.

Remember the questions it would ask before the game started? It was an attempt at early age determination.

I used to guess my way through it and play this in the living room. Until I got cocky one day, and impatiently yelled down the hallway, "Dad! What's the mile high club?" RIP Leisure Suit Larry on my Compaq luggable.

My dad had the original in the series, Softporn Adventure. Which was all text, Leisure Suit Larry just added graphics to the same story. Kept the disk in the boring organizer with all the accounting software, word processors, and such. I booted it up a few times but had no idea what I was doing.

My sister and i would play a version of leisure suit larry when we were young. It had a bunch of questions you had to answer correctly and prove you were an adult in order to play. So we would run to the other room and ask our mom “who was president in 1955??” and than run back and enter the answers lol. Eventually mom got curious and came into the computer room to see what her “inquisitive kids” were doing and shyt a brick. She had assumed we were playing carmen sandiego or something. Good times.

[-]

SteelGemini@reddit

I remember just memorizing the answers by trial and error. Somehow I couldn't remember enough about the game itself to get out of that damn bar without dying. Maybe child me just found it hilarious to get Larry killed by flushing the toilet or getting in a bar fight. I was certain there was something spicy to be found if I could just get out of that bar. However, we also had some strip poker game that was way easier to see boobs on, so maybe that's why Larry always got dropped after dying a few times.

I went to a friend's house and he had Leisure Suit Larry 3 on pc. I don't think he had the other ones, so part 3 is the only one I have nostalgia for.

We stayed up all night trying to think of funny things to type in and see how the game responds. And of course... "Ooooh! Boobies!"

[-]

Sneezcore@reddit

Played this at a friend’s house on his dad’s computer one time. The only part I remember is having to answer a series of questions and depending on how many you got right the window blinds in the following cutscene would raise up to reveal a topless woman’s pixelated boobies.

[-]

[-]

CuteFluffyGuy@reddit

There was a whole series of these ranging from the early text only to the good graphics ones. All of them were more adult themed with Easter eggs galore

[-]

Mueryk@reddit

One of the sequels was on a Cruise and a side game was finding and clicking on all the hidden penises in each screen. Whereupon it would say “Yeah baby” and kind of dance its way off the screen. That kind of sticks in your memory.

[-]

BritOnTheRocks@reddit

I do remember this because my Dad’s name was Larry and I’d point it out in the computer magazines he owned. He was smart enough to steer his innocent kids away from actually playing the game though.

BlueLightJunction@reddit

I loved this game. I would have to play it in secret. There were questions you had to answer at the beginning before you could play. I did like the naughty factor but it was intro into the games where you are in a world and have to solve puzzles. Also you can’t help but like Larry a little bit right?? Poor guy can’t catch a break!
