I grew up playing these games, and personally, I think that Leisure Suit Larry 1 the remake, 6, and 7 are the best, I just wish they wouldn't have scrapped the project on Larry 8. Al Lowe is great when it comes to these games!

Years of fun

I have owned these games for a long time and it is probably the only series that I replay again and again every few years (OK I do the same with the King's Quest series). Lots of laughs.

Entertaining

I recommend this collection of Larry games. They are very addicting and really fun to play. I only wish that they continued making these games. Anyways, this is a sure hit.

Well if you have ever played any of the Leisure Suit Larry games you know what to expect. Includes all the games except the 4th because for some reason they had to take it off the shelfs. Includes the original game which is just text, no pics, and the remake of the first one. A great game for larry fans and anyone that likes a more mature stratage game. Hours of fun.

This is for all of you who bought this Game!

If you have bought this game and are trying to install it on your windows system. The LSL 1-5 were DOS/Windows 95 games, and for you to install them on your windows 98/98se/ME/2000 system. You have to do the following:

1. When you run the installer, it will ask you if you want to do a system test on Larry 1 VGA-Larry 7. Say no to the system test, the system test only works for Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, it does not work for Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000.

2. Once you say no to the system test, the program will show you what the system test skipped. When it asks you if you want to install Larry 1 VGA-Larry 7, individually of course, say yes. Then after the install, you should be able to run these old DOS (Larry 1 VGA to Larry 5) on your Windows machine.

I found this out the hard way, by calling a Sierra tech support person. If this has helped you in any way, please let Amazon know, this is a great game series once you can getting it working on your Windows pc.

I just love Larry

I recieved the package in the mail, only to find that if you have windows 2000, LSL is not going to run on your computer. Half of the games on the disk are unplayable, and one of the disks wouldn't even install on my computer. NOT A GOOD BUY!!!!

I Wish My Life Were This Fun

Poor Larry. With his mind stuck in the 1970s, he has a lot of trouble with women. But, man, he has an interesting life.

This package collects all 6 games (there was no #4 for some mysterious reason). In the first game, Larry's primary goal is to get laid. Filled with ribald humour, this game was revolutionary for its time. Instead of an adventure game comprised of just text or perhaps a few static illustrations, you actually got to see everything happening to your "3D" character (now very 2D by today's standards). The parser driven gameplay could be frustrating when you didn't know how to type a command so the computer would understand it, but it also added more humour since you could type ANYTHING (and the game usually had good responses), and you couldn't guess by just clicking different inventory items on hot spots. (Also included is the remake of #1 with a point-and-click interface and better graphics). At this point Larry was just a pathetic loser who was fun to laugh at, but elicited little sympathy.

With #2, the designer, Al Lowe, decided that people played the game in order to watch an interactive movie. As a result, the game is WAY too linear, and there is no flexibility on how to get through. But now Larry was on a quest for true love, vs. just cheap thrills, and started to become more sympathetic. We also meet Passionate Patti, a recurring love interest.

As a result of negative reactions to #2's linear gameplay, #3 is more non-linear (although divided into chapters). Since Larry now has a girlfriend, the goal with #3 is changed. In this one, playing as both Patti and Larry, the player has to try to reunite the two and defeat a mad scientist. Getting laid is no longer the main goal, and except for the ribald humour, this is more like a typical adventure game. This was also the last of the parser driven games.

With #5, the series began using a point and click interface. Like most such early games, this makes it TOO easy. And, for some dumb reason, the game is again totally linear (although the order in which the chapters can be played is more flexible). Now the player just needs to randomly click items on hot spots. Suffering from partial amnesia (due to the missing #4), Patti and Larry have mysteriously become parted. Once again, playing as both characters, Larry reverts to trying to get laid while Patti tries to bring down the mob in her role as an undercover agent, and at the end the two are reunited as their paths cross.

With #6, the series returns to basics. For some unexplained reason, Patti is no longer around. Larry wins a stay at a Hellish health spa he cannot leave and tries to get laid. With this game, the puzzles are slightly more challenging, but still not very. But the humour is now back on course, making it a fun game once again.

#7 is the best in the series, having some of the most complex puzzles of the series. It is like a dirty version of Monkey Island with Larry trying to get laid on a cruise ship after finding a lost passenger ticket. The interface is also really cool. The game can be completed using point-and-click, but you also have the option of using a parser interface to uncover hidden jokes. It is also the funniest of the bunch, and the most risque. #7 left me anxiously waiting to see what they would do with #8 (one of the rumours was that they would use photographic images of real women for the female characters), but, alas, Sierra decided to do away with all its adventure game titles except Gabriel Knight for some ridiculous reason.

#7 is worth the price of this collection alone. #6 and #1 are also very good. #3 is decent, and #2 and 5 are not the best. The graphics on the earlier games are primitive, but are still charming, and to me, the gameplay is more important. Even though some of the less-well designed games can be completed quite quickly, with all 6 games, you get many hours of gameplay, and you will likely find yourself playing all (but #2) over and over to get at all the hidden jokes. It is even worthwhile playing both versions of #1 since there isn't 100% correspondence in the jokes, and both are unique experiences.

LEISURE SUIT LARRY - A COMPLETE SUCCESS

this game is like nothing anyone else could think up...

from the depths of the papers, computer hardware, and ideas that pile up around the computer nerds who create all kinds of serious, space-age/secret agent/combat fighter games, emerged leisure suit larry, a sleazy guy in a white suit made of 100% highly-flamable sinthetic materials. this interesting, though exceedingly pointless character has changed the gaming life of me, and i hope you too.

leisure suit larry games are like none i've ever played. no one could have possibly thought of something like this besides al lowe, and i'm surprised anyone thought of it. i computer game about some guy who goes around to different tropical resorts and bars trying to pick up chicks would have been thought of as ridiculous - and maybe it is - but that's all the fun of it. think of it as austin powers and play it, dammit.
