Leisure Suit Larry
Last night I was going through some of my old PC games. I found my copy of Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits, but not the documentation that came with it.
After googling, all I could see is that there is supposed to be documentation on the CD itself (PDF format) but I'm not sure I even have a collection late enough for PDF. Anyway, I couldn't find it anywhere. Specifically, I can't play LSL 5 without the "AeroDork" City Codes, and there was another one that you have to enter the girl's phone number which corresponds to the girl's picture in the manual. I even emailed the address I found for Al Lowe, with no luck. I'm no pirater, therefore am not infringing on copyright. I remember buying the game from amazon but I think it was about 4 years ago after I moved into my apartment. I've moved twice since then, that doc is probably long gone. If someone here has those codes could you PM so I can play my games? I know this is a totally obscure question, but if you can't find help in the Cellar where can you find help? Thanks!

I don't know which of the 30 or so Leisure Suit Larry games you have, but many of them have codes included in the walkthroughs, including some that call themselves "phone numbers." |

Thanks.
Perusing all these sites earlier, they tell you that you have to have the game manual due to copyrights. There is a link to an Al Lowe site that no longer works. I may have found help with LSL2, will have to try it when I get home. So if anyone has the codes please still PM me.

I don't think it's very nice to call them game fags.

I have a similiar problem with several disks of Infocom games. Right now this is kind of a moot point since
1) I don't have time to play any of these wonderful games. 2) I know the disks are around here somewhere. I am just not entirely sure of exactly where "somewhere" is.

Al Lowe wrote back to me, and said if I looked around a bit on his website www.allowe.com, I would find the codes I needed. I did find them, and some other great stuff. I signed up for CyberJoke 3000.
I noticed he also had some postings on "The Number of the Beast" where I promptly grabbed one for that thread. It's nice to know we can still count on Leisure Suit Larry to not succumb to cold corporation apathy!

So how well does it run? I remember trying to load an old DOS based game ("Life & Death") a couple years back, and found that it ran too fast to be playable. (I believe I bought it in 1988 or 89 ... the machine I ran it on had a monochrome display with a Hercules graphics adapter, for those who remember what that was, and I used a TSR utility to emulate the CGA graphics required by the game. Those were the days!! )

I can run LSL 1 through 7 (there actually was no 4) with no problems. The only problem I had was trying to figure out which file would actually start the game in the earlier versions, and where I was keeping saved games.
To think I played LSL1 back in the early 90's; it actually came out in 1987. Wow.

How come no one is addressing the fact that Leisure Suit Larry is a pervert game! I'm not here to judge anyone, but with 7 replies no one has even thought to comment on a game where a lil' perv tries to pick up and shag chicks?

It is?
I always thought it was about 1970s men's fashion. |

Oh puh...that's why it's so funny. It is also the type of game I like, exploring, finding objects, figuring out how those objects work, talking to characters, etc. It has humor, puzzles, and sex...what more could I want? I'd shag me some LSL. :p Edit: my new tag line above!

I have the latest game in the franchise for PS2 (LSL goes to College), but it lacks a lot of the charm of the earlier versions. Okay, except for the strap-on on the teddy bear and pissing on everything.
