- voisin 3y agoBlast from the past. This game felt so out of bounds back in the early/mid 90s, like watching The Simpsons.
- seiferteric 3y agolol felt way worse than The Simpsons.

- Spellman 3y agoAs are a LOT of DOS games in convenient DOS BOX for your playing pleasure. There are several of these sites to play DOS games on, and I suspect some are just cribbing archive.org since most have the exact same library with exact same issues in their copies. For example I was looking for Operation Neptune and found it on archive.org, but it doesn't have any sound. And neither does every other copy I could find to play online in browser. https://archive.org/details/msdos_Super_Solvers_Operation_Neptune_1990 https://archive.org/details/msdos_Super_Solvers_Operation_Ne...
- anthk 3y agoScummVM will run Sierra/Lucas Arts/Myst and zillions of more adventure engines better than DOSBox.
- a1o 3y agoIf someone knows how to add a web player for something on Archive org, I made a web player that I wanted to adds for a few games there...
- m463 3y agoLoved this game ... long time ago. "and there stood the pig and the cow!" har har!
- electriclove 3y agoFirst question when I tried to play: Who was the inventive genius behind the Apple computer? a. Bill Gates b. Steve Wozniak c. Ken Williams d. Steve Russell
- tiffanyg 3y agoExactly what popped into my head first. Which then suggests an "Archer" phrasing moment ... after which interlude, vague seedy memories of other sorts ... arise.* First, I absolutely loved the "age check" at the beginning. It was an absolute ROAST of the concept. Questions likely MOST answerable by people still in "secondary schools". By nerdier ... members of that set, in fact. And yet, exactly the veneer that, say, a "Niedermeyer" might 'take at face value', so-to-speak. Lampooning the (effectively 'Confucianist', whether Asian or not) 'adults' that way was such a highlight. Second - ha, I can barely remember much in the way of details, such as they were, from the actual games! If anything, I remember that there were some enjoyable puzzles, including in the realm of dialogue and 'moves' towards goals and sub-goals. Those games were really like the ice-cream sundaes all games were at the time, with a ... slightly different 'cherry on top' than the type found in other games. (I still preferred King's Quest, Space Quest, 7th Guest ... Under A Killing Moon ... so many games more or less similar in fundamentals, but, different fleshy drupes on top. And that, is the kind of apparently warped thinking [as judged against the majority, it seems] that leads to browsing this site right now.) *And yet, somehow, I seem to have been misled by Mr Brooks as to what sorts of tests would be involved when it came to 'UNIX'*
- mongol 3y agoI remember my uncle showing a PC game during this era. Larry was one he showed. Another was a game more set in a fantasy world. In it, there was a wizard or something that asked the player a riddle. My relative had to look at some printout, as I understood a cheat he had got from someone where he worked. The answer was just gibberish random letters. I never understood how an honest player could have guessed that answer. Does this ring a bell? This was in the 80s and I was probably 11 or something. Not all details are clear.
- darepublic 3y agoAn endorsement for DOSBox. Also, I got booted back out to the command line for entering an age < 10. I remember as a kid flipping through video game catalogues that were included in DOS games bought from the store and marveling at an ECG graphic rendition of a model in a hot tub.
- oldbbsnickname 3y agoThey're all on Steam too. (Pun intended, but only in EGA.)

- lathiat 3y agoI gave a copy of this to my friend in primary school. His parents called my dad to complain and he laughed at them. Good times.
- about3fitty 3y agoCertainly one of the best child-proofing mechanisms I’ve seen

- djitz 3y agoOh, the BBS memories :)
- chaps 3y agoMy high school programming class got to go on a field trip to the studio that made LSL for a studio tour. Since, well, high schoolers, they did everything they could not to mention the series until one of my classmates raised his hand in the middle of the tour and (knowingly) asked, "Hey uh, what's this 'Leisure Suit Larry' game?'". Can't remember his exact response, but it was something like "Oh that's just an.. adventure of a guy who's trying to find himself a partner." and quickly changed the subject with a[n equally knowing] laugh. Good times.
- ahoka 3y agoIs it still a taboo in the US to talk about sex with people aged 14-18?
- chaps 3y agoTry harder, friend.
- ahoka 3y agoI assume this is a yes.
- chaps 3y agoIt's not a yes nor is it a no because man, I'm really not sure what amounts to, "is it okay for teachers to show high schoolers a video game centered around trying to fuck anything that moves" is the right topic to even approach that question. Everyone in the room thought the situation was funny. There's not really anything deeper to probe there, nor is it a reflection on "TheHE UNiTeteDS TtaTeS HAatTs SEx".
- wkat4242 3y ago> "TheHE UNiTeteDS TtaTeS HAatTs SEx" The US does have a pretty weird relationship with sexual topics though. Being one of the most prolific porn (and especially family porn) producers, really sexualised advertising and media, yet going batshit crazy when a nipple is shown on TV. The hyper aversion to LGBT topics in some areas. The Don't ask, don't tell, the bans on education on LGBT topics.. I find it really strange how these extremes can be reconciled. PS: I am not the person you replied to though, but it does all surprise me a lot. Where I'm from there is less moral upheaval about these topics, more of "as long as you're having consensual adult fun it's great". However I do see part of this mindset blowing over. Especially in terms of hate against transsexual people (like what's also seen very strongly in Floriday). I have many trans friends so it bothers and worries me.
- LeonardoTolstoy 3y agoThe first three are surprisingly good, especially the 2nd and 3rd, and especially if you like those old style Sierra. Oddly charming, and Larry really is just looking for love (and often finding it), he's just a bit of a hapless loser. Regardless my point is it is a good series and surprisingly tame. Sierra adventures have a ... style but I love them. The main thing is: save a lot. More than you think.
- teknolog 3y agoI played through the first three about a year ago, but I had to resort to walkthroughs for hints for a few things that I just don't get how you would figure out... except just trying everything. Great games for sure, but man were games hard back in the day.
- jstarfish 3y agoThe 2nd (or 3rd?) one was outright sadistic-- whichever one teased you with the "save early, save often" mantra. Every two steps there was some instant death trap. It just felt like the devs got lazy, since so much of the total playtime was just replaying shit you failed to save after completion. It was more aggravating than Dark Souls. No amount of possible VGA-rendered porn was worth putting up with it.

- wkat4242 3y agoThis is something that archive.org has had for a looooong time for many games.

- invalidusernam3 3y agoI remember calling my dad over to help me with the over 18 check at the start of the game every time I wanted to play (I was about 6 at the time). Eventually he printed out a sheet with all the questions and answers for me

- hestefisk 3y agoAnyone remember the “boss key”?
- grishka 3y agoOh yeah, all these "age verification" questions that are impossible to answer for anyone who didn't grow up in the US.
- throwaway67743 3y agoI failed the age test as it asked which one of these is not a war? Crimea, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese - technically all 4 were, although one was a civil war but a war nonetheless!
