Leisure Suit Larry remakes announced
Replay Games has teamed with Al Lowe to make HD remakes of the Leisure Suit Larry games.
Having sold over 10 million copies over the course of eight games and 24 years, Leisure Suit Larry is one of the most successful adventure games series ever made. Each of the eight games typically features the eponymous Larry as he tries to seduce proportionately unlikely ladies.
Replay Games has said that the remakes, which will start with the first game Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, will lead into a series revival should they prove successful.
It should be pointed out that numerous Leisure Suit Larry games have been remade before - the 1987 release of Land of the Lounge Lizards was previously rebuilt with new graphics in 1991, for example.
'We originally hooked players with the concept of a naughty game that was unusual and not found anywhere else,' Lowe told VentureBeat.
'They stayed and liked the games because they were funny. My goal is to make it funny, and there is a sore lack of humour today in video games.'

"undress"
*forgot about condoms*
"**** hooker"
Get syphilis and die.
Good times.
:D
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
With luck, it'll just be like the "Monkey Island" remakes...the original with better graphics?
Portal?
Exception that proves the rule?
If there's an exception then it isn't a rule.
Make it good and bring it on!
But I though exceptions disproved rules? Anyway, if GTA series are not meant to be at the very least a parody I must have a sick sense of humour. I nearly wet myself listening to some of the radio station commentary & dialogue in 4 is prizeworthy. Are not "The Baconing" and "Orcs Must Die" also intended to be humourous? I'm sure there are others, though admittedly not all big budget jobs. But if you consider tv programming as any kind of guide, smutty innuendo kind of went out with Benny Hill, really.
I remember playing it, but can find anything on google! It was like a soft porn version of Rock Star Ate My Hamster.
Please tell me im not mental!
Neither of you have heard that expression?
lol look at the suit.. as long as he doesn't swing both ways (to make it more appealing to console gamers)
Lol! In your face games industry! :)
