Description

Larry Laffer is a short, tacky, balding, forty-year-old man who has been living with his mother until recently. He used to be in the software business, but decided to leave everything behind as he moved to the city of Lost Wages in pursuit of sexual fulfillment. Clad in a white polyester leisure suit, Larry finds himself outside of Lefty's Bar, determined to finally lose his virginity - or commit suicide if he is unable to achieve that goal before dawn.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is the first game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series, largely inspired by the text adventure Softporn Adventure, though with a greatly enhanced script containing more humorous descriptions and dialogue. A text parser is used to input commands for interaction with a graphical environment. Progress is achieved by collecting various items and figuring out which of those may be essential for conquering the hearts of the several female characters appearing in the game.

      Must be really prudish if you think LSL1 is softcore porn. More like a comedy with sexual themes like 40 Year Old Virgin or American Pie.

    I remember playing it as a teenager on my AT/286 12Mhz, EGA graphic card with an unbelievable 4096kB (4MB) of RAM and 40MB MFM HDD (Seagate ST-251) :-)
    Now I am older than Larry :-(

      You had 4mb in a 286!

      You needed at least a 386dx40 to be that outrageous

      • tm001 on 17/08/2021 - 16:42
        +5

        Not with HIMEM.SYS and RAMDRIVE.SYS to make some use of it.
        And I just double checked, just to make sure my memory is not failing me, and yes, 80286 can easily address the 4MB of RAM and DOS 3.3 had the HIMEM.SYS.
        But yes, the best use was for the ramdrive. Soooo much faster than the HDD!

        • mdavant on 17/08/2021 - 16:59

          I forgot about using ramdrive.

          Still, that was stupid money into a 286!!

          I remember the price of 1mb sticks

      You had a 4MB 286? T.mmmmmmmmm?

      I had a 640k one, upgraded to 1MB, I'd be surprised if you're not thinking of a 386 but who knows.

      • tm001 on 17/08/2021 - 14:28
        +1

        Nope, 386SX came later on and if I am not mistaken I have later on upgraded it with an 80387 math co-processor.
        I may be a bit fuzzy when I got my 386DX, 486SX, 486DX, 486DX2 and I think 486DX4 and then the Pentium started.
        But I sure remember my first PC! :-)
        You would be the one I would proudly show the memory check at the start going all the way to the 4096kB - making my ego going as big as if I would tell you I am dating the Miss Universe! :-D

      Turbo button for 8/16mhz
      I had the MFM 40mb as well! God that thing was loud and clunky.

        I think it was possible, it was just maybe overkill.
        I had 8 chip slots in mine and upgraded it to 1MB memory with 8x128K
        I just googled and they even had 30pin SIMM models and could address up to 16MB.

        If so kid was well overspec'd, it's like someone with a 64GB Core 2 Duo but hey, 286 crew represent.

      • Abaddon on 17/08/2021 - 11:11

        I had 4MB as well, but it was on a daughterboard with a 486 and it's own memory on it (was one of the weirdest configs I ever had). But never saw it native on standard 286.

      • tm001 on 17/08/2021 - 14:16

        That is why I put the "unbelievable" in it. I used himem.sys and a lot of time used part of the RAM as a RAMDisk.
        There were no modules, they were chips in sockets. I bought it second hand from a guy who was a professional programmer.
        512kB was the basic configuration, 640k was the normal "maximum" and some 80286 were sold with 1024kB of RAM.
        The startup was great with checking memory in 64kB blocks. My friends were jealous to see mine go all the way to 4096kB of RAM :-)
        What an upgrade it was from my dad's work computer 8086, 128kB RAM, and double 8" floppy drive and CP/M system :-D

        I think back then you did not have much choice, the ST-251 was a pretty standard HDD you could have with reasonable size and price. I think a friend of mine had RLL 15MB HDD. Graphics you could have CGA, Hercules or EGA.

        • hamwhisperer on 17/08/2021 - 16:07

          I found my 286 sucked for EMM and XMM memory, I might be too dumb or too young at the time, but if memory serves me (no pun) the way to get proper EMM or XMM was with a special PER chipset or motherboard driver, so I had a hell of a time, getting games working which required that memory (I think X-Wing was one of them)

          Once I moved toa 486, the Microsoft 'drivers' built into DOS, seemed to support some kind of generic or universally supported x386 mode EMM (something like that?) so games like Wing Commander or whatever could get the EMM easily, without me needing to track down a specific floppy for my board.

          It was something like that, it's literally 30 years ago now.

          • GeneralSkunk on 17/08/2021 - 21:28

            @hamwhisperer: That’s all familiar with me too. But I started with a 486SX-33, which I realised years later was an overclocked 25! Bloody dodgy Springvale computer shop.

            Anyway I wanted to say, the best part was that most computer users back then had to understand memory models, mapping, direct memory access, interrupt requests, cache, bios, operating system fundamentals, some programming language, etc. These days a 4-year old can use one (as mine does). And there’s a shitload more going on under the bonnet these days.

            Ah the days…

      I don't play through the series as often as I used to but I still revisit every 2 years. Still has the same corny charm for me, I even (attempt) explain it to new "audiences" where it's not as rude as you may think. My first experience was playing it on the Amiga 500 when I was extremely under age (6ish)….. parents didn't think I'd get the trivia questions correct…………… didn't take me long until I was outside Lefty's!!!!!! I didn't learn about the secret keyboard press that skipped the questions entirely until I was in my mid 20's lol. My family had the first three games on the Amiga, I got the LSL Collection in 99/00 and that was my first experience playing Love for Sail. I played the later generation games (Box Office Bust etc) didn't hit the spot, I have the re-imagined LSL 1 that Al Lowe was involved in. Re-collected the games digitally via GOG and Steam soon after (ehhh I just felt like buying them again on another storefront). Wet Dreams Don't Dry is alright as well.
