Leisure Suit Larry bundle hits GOG
Why do you like Leisure Suit Larry? I understand why you did, back in the day, but why do you continue to like it? Why did you buy enough of them for too many sequels to be made, let alone a spin-off starring Larry's nephew and a sequel to that, why have you backed a Kickstarter for a remake of the first game, and then voted to get that on Steam? And why are you excited that GOG today re-released a bundle of vintage Larry games? You, yes you, you personally, you.

The 500th item to hit GOG's catalogue is the Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits and Misses collection, which offers the first five of Sierra's adventure games (1-3, then 5 and 6, technically: 4 is a 'lost' game as an in-joke) for $9.99. You also get the text adventure game which inspired the first Leisure Suit Larry, Softporn Adventure.
Granted, some of the Leisure Suit Larry games were genuinely good adventure games back in the day, but please, you can't continue to support this. What if they make another game starring his nephew? And another? And another? And the remakes continue and continue? There are loads of new video games you could buy, and it's not even remotely difficult to make pornography appear on your computer nowadays.

Yeah, I thought the series was unfairly dumped on a lot too. It also had far less bullshit in it compared to other Sierra games, like cheap deaths and dead ends.
-
Man, you haven't played them in a while, have you? The LSL games were horrendously cheap and unfair, although that was kind of the deal with adventure games back then.

They'll probably do it as a separate release. King's Quest 7 and 8 were released in one collection instead of being part of the 1-6 release.

Because LSL games are the closest most of us gamer nerds ever get to touching female anatomy.

They bought the series from Vivendi Universal I believe
-
Hm, Codies published the last of the nephew games, but I'm not sure quite where the rights lie, may have been a one-off. Bit wonky on that, so snippety-snip.

I remember Al Lowe wanted to restart the series. If I remember correctly, he wasn't too pleased with the state of the franchise.
-
It does mention Codemasters on the GOG page though I have no idea what their involvement would be with the older games as they only published the Team17(!?) developed game in 2009.
According to Al Lowe's site Replay Games currently owns the rights to all of the Leisure Suit Larry games. http://www.allowe.com/
Does make me wonder if ActivisionBlizzard still owns Freddy Pharkas and Torin's Passage? At least the latter is on GOG.

The original LSL games definitely had a better sense of where to draw the line. They knew the difference between American Pie and straight up porn humor.
The newer games, not so much.
