They raped Larry

[Disorder]

Leisure suit Larry. Rings a bell, doesn't it? Well, some dickheads thought it was time to do a sequel. So far so good. Then, I saw the first screenshot of the long awaited new Larry game called 'Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude'.

Larry goes 3D. The whole Larry feel seems to have disappeared. Such a shame. Thoughts, ideas, comments?

[The Heretic]

Bloody hell, i dont know what to think about that screenshot. Thought i was on acid.

[pritch]

Holy shit it's 1977.

[Draconio]

I played the first and part of the third. Thought they were rather dumb, albeit slightly funny at times.

[Little Faith]

Actually I am not all that concerned whether it is 3d or not. Lesiure Suit Larry's primary charm was not the graphics, but the moronic plot.

[Sephiroth]

never played any of the games. mind directing me to a link?
are the games free now? is there a shareware? i am sure these are DOS/286 games

[boris]

Haha Larry looks like Ling :P

[Sharessa]

Space Quest owns Liesure Suit Larry.

[sargebaldy]

i liked leisure suit larry, at least up until 3 or so. this one looks pretty damn pitiful though.

[Manga Girl Marchelle]

What I'd like to know is: why in'st he in his liesure suit? I mean, what the Hell...its in his name.

[Cyb]

Funniest thread title ever.

Also, Al Lowe's thoughts on the new game.

[Sephiroth]

in soviet union, larry rapes you!

what is the whole game about anyways, getting laid from what i have seen. anyways they redid duke nukem in a side scroller 2 years ago. it was very good and fun to play, could have used a bit more and maybe some better quality here and there, but still good. it was better than most games done by amature companies and was very bug free.

I don't see what Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project has to do with good ol' babe humpin' Larry, but Manhattan Project rocks - one of the best games I've bought in recent years and for me, a rebirth of the sidescroller genre (loved sidescrollers as a kid).

Only tried the first and third Larry game - Leisure Suit Larry III was one of the first big games I ever got.
But heh, Adventure games has never been my cup of tea - I just hate puzzles that impede your progress until you happen to think the right thought or do the right thing by accident.

I couldn't care less how this game turns out - I already think they made too many Larry games and I was never a big fan of him. As soon as I got Wolf3d, Larry seemed to fade from excistence (not that he was overly prominent before Wolfie).

[Sephiroth]

well i never played any of those games.

my question is, whats the deal with the cocktail and beer icons?
and WTF is he gonna do to that poor monkey?

[LorD BaZTArD]

Leisure Suit Larry, Heh. I was never a follower of those games, but they were classics in their own right. I loved Police Quest and Space Quest, Space Quest was insanely funny. Now that's a game they need to remake, I remember looking forward to 7. Then it got canned :(

[auxois]

Yeah - actually, DN:MP is a tremendously awesome game, if you like 2D (3D graphics, 2D gameplay) sidescrolling platforming shooters. IT harkens back to the original Duke Nukem (Duke Nukum, haw!) games in a big way, but it still keeps the style and flash of the third DN installment.

It's a very pretty game, right up there with Q3A, and it runs wicked-fast. Only needs a Geforce2 MX to run at full speed with everything turned up. The gameplay is great and on the whole it's just really good. Pick it up if you see it - it oughta be around five or ten bucks now.
