Your site is great, loved the site gags! I've had a thing for Larry ever since the first time I experienced him at the tender age of 11? 12? on my Atari computer. I can honestly say he shaped me into the woman I am today. My husband says thank you.

AL if this is really you i'd just like to say how could Sierra have dumped a great designer like you... :( ive been a fan since i was 3 years old (pretty disturbing huh) i played LSL 1st and then Mixed Up Mother Goose and i was left puzzled about MMG because well it took toddlers as idiots! hehe i used to be Sierras biggest fan but they've done nothing but go down hill sadly they dumped you and now LSL8 and Space Quest 7 will never be please do your best to come back and bring the old Sierra back hell if not make your own company of "Rebel" Sierra workers and start the 2nd Activison hehe

I just love LSL. Too bad it had to end. Perhaps another team should be put together to create #8? With Al on top ofcourse :) Seriously. LSL 8 has to be released! We're getting fed up with all those 3D action games, and want some good old adventure games, with the plain recognisable characters. Who of us didn't like the larry series, or the police quest series? Don't give up and bring out the LSL 8 ! (and if possible nine and ten too :) )

Hey yo, Al! I thought about Larry 8 once again: If you do it (and you've got Millions of fans behind you) you should do it like Larry 7: Paint it! The animations were good. But you can do them better. The movies were good, but they can be even fantastic! And the sound was good, but... you know what I'am talking about! Don't ya? You improve Leisure Suit Larry 7 Love For Sail, give it an even better story and name it Larry 8! That's it, folks! I would buy two copies of it! Okay, see you later, Manuel

Hi again! I thought about Larry 8, from which I hope you work on, my pal Al: I don't like the idea that it is/should be in 3D. I liked the way the grafic was in Larry 7. Okay, I know, the graphic also has to develope. But rendering? No, that's not the style of Leisure Suit Larry. Not a 3D game. That's not the style of Al Lowe. Work on the paintings. Work on the engine, so that we don't see any bad graphic anymore (no more big pixels etc.) And then Larry is better than ever. I think Larry 7 Love for Sail is the best Larry-Game in the history. So don't do Larry 8 in 3d. I am talking about Larry 8, but where is it? So, if you do it, take my tip! Thanks for your attention, Your big fan Manuel PS: Later I want also to make my own computergames. So, when I am 18 and come to America (and you still live) - do you have a job for me?

Al I've enjoyed your Leisure Suit Larry series ever since I copi.....er....borrowed a part one from a friend. You managed to create a character that was able to survive in the fast paced world of computer gaming without loosing its charm. Larry was the little pervert that existed in everyone but some people were afraid to show that side of themselves and these games gave them the chance to be what they wanted....a middle aged guy in a polyester suit with a bad comb over. Anyway, thanks for the hours of enjoyment and I hope the series will soon have another chance to prove its worth.

Hello! I am a huge Leisure Suit Larry fan. I've got LSL 1, 1 VSG???, 2, 3, 5, both number 6. And the Larry utilities. Though I've looked for it here in Norway, I've only seen number 7 once, when I bought my first LSL game, number 6. I remembered LSL from my childhood, when I visited my uncle and family, and his son sat and played LSL 1. That will be forever printed in my brain. I've almost given up searching for number 7, since I am told that Sierra doesn't send them out anymore. It wil forever be a great loss for me. Hope that you still, for many years can make adventure games, though the LSL series is over. My wishes, HÅVARD JACOBSEN REIGSTAD!!!!

Al... Everyone here speak the truth... Sierra is not much without Larry, you know it makes me pissed that they would make you, but a faithful and loyal servant to go, everyone must see that there are clear signs of insanity on their part here. PEOPLE, er I mean every one who reads this, support Al Lowe, e-mail Sierra day and night! PROTEST!!! STRIKE!!! TELL THEM WHAT WE WANT!!! Because if Sierra is convinced that Lust in Space will sell, they will take Al up on it and that my fellow fans is what we what! I say, let everyone know how many Larry fans there are out here, if we fight we can help Al to continue on with his creation. Let the world know!!! Thanks for your time, peace and to us all godspeed, by the way Al, you RULE!!! Oh, and I am not 10 years old...

But the truth is I would endure that a million times For just ONE MORE LARRY GAME!!!!! So I want all of you to chip in, Stop donating to Charaties, dont give money at church and alll put your money together and buy the rights to Leisure Suit Larry and give them back to Poor Al, if not do it for poor little Dane who travelled the world for Sierra and Larry!

Hi AL and lesserfolk! You proberly dont remember me, I wrote to Sierra numerous times because I was such an innocent little fan, and whilst little at the time I managed to buy every Larry game available with my grubby little hands, I managed to get the autographs of practically the entire staff of Sierra of the early ninties, I was such a happy little Chap, then before I was visiting America my mother wrote a letter to sierra asking about visits and tours and things, and they kindly sent us a letter back explaining all about those things so eventually when I arrived in the US of A I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me to Sierra Studios (Well my parents drove most of the way) and only to find out that they were changing location (this was 1994) I showed them the letter but they said they didn't have any tours available at the moment, I asked to see Ken Williams because I brought him and the staff some Tasty Aussie Vegemite!

You promised me that I would be happy when I rode this site !... I was (I'm a HUGE Larry fan) but I was also wery sad !.. Goodgye Mary Kay Bergman .
It pains me to know that Sierra has turned into something totally different from what everyone remembers. I should have done my research because then I would have known about the money problems (which you did tell me) and the new management. One of the top game design companies known for a slew of high quality games is now only known for two. Half-Life and of course your bouncing baby bachelor. There's even a site (I forgot which) that has a poll as to which company disappoints you the most. No surprise that it was Sierra. That hurts.
What I wanted to tell you is that one of these days it's going to blow up in everyone's face. I'm into most forms of entertainment. I'm working on a graphic novel, trying to get money for a film short, developing my own graphic adventure idea and even thinking about joining my friend on her website venture. All of this is on a very, I think the term is, grassroots level. I know what you're saying about money, but I'm still young and I want to love something before I go straight. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it for life (I'd love to hear your music).
What I see now is people lazily going about making everyone happy. There should be no such thing as a CGI Yoda! Sooner or later (probably later) we'll realize what's out there and demand some quality.
Every ten years the old generation starts to show itself in it's children. I'm asking only that you keep that wonderful imagination you have. If you look at Resident Evil, the brilliant Final Fantasy series and the many games out there with CG cut-scenes you'll see a little bit of the past there.
It's good to be social, don't get me wrong, but the multiplayer is becoming the standard. I'm sure you have DVD's that you and your family can watch. A good action movie that everyone can get excited over. There are, lurking somewhere in the collection, personal films that you can relate to. Video games are at that level, but they got here at the wrong time. In this age of 'what fad can we pimp next', the gamers are getting first rate systems that play third (or 97th) rate games. If you don't have a good series going, then throw some more patches on that broadband version of 'Don't Wait To See The Whites Of Their Eyes'.
If there are so many people in that vast cyber world then why is Larry alone (again!)? Larry is all alone again, but at the same time with everyone. Books and Films are one thing, but it's rare that a video game character can become it's own being. You are the only one I can think of who's done it. You served your purpose on this plane, I believe and made people smile.
You don't have to do it again. That's not what I'm saying. You should be a household name though.
I know what everyone wants and I want it too, but what I see is a talent, not a character. I'd like to see one more 'matured' version of Larry. Let him win and then go in peace. You, on the other hand are larger than the Internet. I don't want to see you get lost in the sea of search engines.
"Oh, I remember him. He made that game with that guy."
Not that there all bad, but some of these games have no heart. I remember when rap became accepted. When comic books became accepted. Before these video games go down I would love to see you and maybe Tim Schafer GET DOWN and do what Tony Alva and Tony Hawk did for skateboarding: Bring it to the forefront without letting it lose it's heart.
Maybe in my future I could develop one of your scripts into a movie (or give you all the money you want to make more games), but until then...
...you are etched in the mind of every old school gamer.
PS: You're not going to believe this, but my wife works for a financial company and one day, when greeting a client, she asked his name. It was Larry Laffer. What a geek!
Hi Al,
I read your interview with the German Magazine PC-Games and after i read it i cant find words to tell you how f**ked Sierra is. What the hell are they waiting for? I mean you created Larry and Designed Games for so long years and now they keep their fucking Copyrights in their fucking safes. And why dont you find another publisher? Well Al, If i become once rich, you can count on me!!

Hey Al,
Just wanted to let you know that as a loyal LSL player (learned to type on lsl 1 on my tandy 1000 in 1990) I really miss your stuff. You brought a true contrast (lsl/softporn vs, disney) to the gaming world in it's infancy, and since I lost track of you and Jane Jensen, I havent seen a good thing come out of Sierra since Half-Life, which isn' really in the same category as your single player masterpieces. On behalf of the gaming world: make fore stuff, I'll even help with sound, I have a degree in audio engineering (and I'm Canadian, so I can work cheap). Really though, just wanted to say, thanks for teaching me to tyepe!!!

Hi Al,
Or shall i say Mr. Lowe? I don't know. First of all imagine you can read all this "I love your Games" and "Your the greatest Designer" Stuff here. I think thats faster and more econimic ;)
And finally some ideas: like i mentioned in the GB how about making a paypal account for "Save Larry Laffer". So we could probably get some Money for the Laffer Licence. I could sleep better if Larry's Name is in it's Dads hands ;)
And even if it won't be enough how about makin a Larry game without it. Gary Fleffner or sth like this. I can imagine that there will be friends and fans who develope for free. i'm common to it cuz i come from the MOD scene. There are great Free Engines on the Net. Oh btw. i do 3D Modeling as Hobby for a Mod. I will try a Larry Model soon, cuz i don't like Jason Zayas' Model very much. It's nice but 1st with today's technique there are more polygons and details possibile and i would make a 1:1 model of the Character in LSL7. He's really great with his big eyes and head shape, everything.
Hope i don't bore you. Maybe a little commercial break: Drink more Dr Pepper Cola !!! Yes, it's really great. Forget about Pepsi and Coke, only Dr Pepper has it's own unbelievable refreshing taste *grinning to the camera* (<- yes i love this stuff, good that i live near the Hollandish Border because Dr Pepper isn't produced in Germany)
Ok back to boring stuff: when there is a demo or running version of Gary Fleffner maybe Sierra would take it over. Although this kind of development is slow because the developers just conntact over the net (they live everywhere because there aren't all Skills availible for free next to your place) it's for free. If it gets better there will be more money and meetings and stuff, we do this at our MOD like this, and without any know VIP in our team we were in several Magazine's and TV Shows with our game althoug there is not even a playable BETA done.
I know a programmer who would probably join, he studies and is very good in codin. You can make any team you wish of course, but please make Larry 8. What am i saying this is just a suggestion, i think im dreaming again hehe. (Larry 9 will do it as well ;)
Regards Milho aka Blasius Floch
"i had a dream..." :)
Mr. Lowe,
Just wanted to say that I'm going to miss the Larry series. That was one of the funniest games I have ever seen! Do you have any plans on making a part 8 or finding the lost disk for part 4? ... probably not... anyway, as a fan of your work, just wanted to say Hi ... appreciate the lighter side of tryin' to hook up with a girl, and hope you're having a great time with what you possibly could be doing now. Do you still work for the game industry?
So without further ado and bothering you further, I'll say goodbye and thanks for the entertainment while it lasted!
-a fan named Shane
hey there.
you very certainly don't know me, but i've been playing your computer games pretty much since they started coming out all those years ago.
i was doing research for an oral presentation i have to do tomorrow morning - which is essentially about the death of the adventure game and was running some searches to see what kind of stuff i got back and your page was pretty literally one of the last i found while doing my search.
i wanted to say two things...the first is that i wholeheartedly concur with a lot of what you said in your article on the subject...and the second is thankyou for the very good times that you [and the pre-1998] set of programmers at sierra gave me as a game player. i remember that one of my earliest dreams ever [and i still harbor it somewhere, although, not in the same form, certainly] was to come and work at sierra because back when i started playing computer games, they'd basically given me the kind of things i wanted to play - stories. which i don't find so much outside of rpg's anymore.
i really do appreciate all the jokes and the many, many hours of entertainment your games provided.
good luck.

Thanks a lot for the great games, Al, and thanks for the website as well. I have some fond memories of the Larry games and your webpage is like taking a walk down nostalgia lane.
I really think that if Myst never appeared, I'd probably be happily playing Larry 8 right now, with Sam & Max 3 and Monkey Island 5 awaiting its completion. It's quite amazing what damage one huge-selling, horribly flawed adventure game can do.

Hi Al!
I just want to tell you how much i've enjoyed your Larry-games and how sad I am to hear, that there wont be another one. Since I was six, I know its a bit early :-), I've played the game and always been looking forward to the sequel, when one was about to be released. Anyway, you made a game that I think is the best of games ever and Larry will always be remembered by me. Hope you can finish your piece of art someday with Leasure Suit Larry 8.
Best Regards

I did a web search asking for stuff about the death of compuer games and your site came up. It did make for interesting reading. I'm always curious to see what other people think about the whole issue...and to get an opinion from someone in the industry - that I have played games by - gave a whole new perspective on the subject.
I remember, very vividly, specifically buying (at great expense, in South Africa, at the time) an entire computer because i wanted to play space quest one. I'd seen it running on a friend's machine one december holiday and saved up money and spoke to my parents about it and they were ok with the whole thing - and that's pretty literally how i got started with computer games - space quest one, king's quest three and some shareware.
Speaking from the outside looking in, i started having very bad feelings about the whole thing when i saw phantasmagoria for the first time. That's when i started wondering, seriously, where the whole thing was going. What made me more worried (particularly about the adventure game as a genre) was The Seventh Guest. I could, pretty literally, only see bad things coming out of that. The entire game, while graphically beautiful was merely a string of puzzles thrown together. the point where i think i sudeenly realized that sierra was starting to have problems was when i saw Police Quest Four.
i wasn't as fond of Police Quest as i was of Space Quest particularly but since my sister got involved and liked the whole thing, i got her a copy and we started playing it together...and from about that point on, i knew something was missing. after that it was pretty much all downhill for me, with regards to Sierra.
I'd already decided that i didn't like first person shooter games [i played the entire first episode of Doom and thought, 'ah. wait a second. i just wasted a week or so of my life shooting things...?'] so when Half-Life came along and King's Quest Eight did shortly after that and then Gabriel Knight Three [i'd really liked Gabriel Knight up to about then...] it was pretty much over.
Your point about the 'me too' games is very accurate here - i just found that Sierra were starting to do things 'wrong' and were letting the people go that had made them. it was frustrating, looking fromt he outside...seeing how it was going...and knowing that it could never go back...like you, i still kind of have hopes for Sierra working things out and getting the old franchises going again, but... my hopes dimmed, after seeing King's Quest Eight/Quest For Glory Five/Gabriel Knight Three.
It is sad.

Hi Mr. Lowe.
I just found your site. I have the Larry ultimate pleasure pack (I was fortunate enough to find it last April), and I saw your site on it. So I thought I’d give it a try.
I love the Larry games! I remember playing those years ago, before I was really allowed to play them (I’m only 25 now.) Now my biggest problem is getting them to play on windows XP!
I don’t know why Sierra ever stopped making the good games. Some, like Larry, they won’t even sell anymore. I have been trying to find the “quest for glory” games forever, and recently I was able to find good old “Colonels Bequest”. There are not too many adult oriented games anymore, Actually, I don’t remember there ever really being too many. But, Larry was always a great game. Besides the issue of getting Larry to work On Win XP, It’s figuring them out! I’m totally stuck on Larry 5. Are there still guides available? I haven’t checked your whole site yet, so maybe you mention that?
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I hope to hear from you again in the gaming world. Maybe since you can’t do Larry again without Sierra, you can start a new game, perhaps the adventures of some new fella, or woman. Whatever you do, I can’t wait to get it! I think your games are great, and it’s a shame you don’t own the rights to your own creation.
Take care.

Hi,
I've spent about 6 or 7 years almost totally out of the "games" world wrapped up in "internet" stuff...now that that bubble has burst I find myself with plenty of time on my hands, and decided to seek out a great new adventure game for my new computer, and have some real fun...(last time I had a cutting edge game capable machine was about '93 and I remember playing SQ4, KQ5, LSL5 and like...) To cut a long story short I ended up downloading a bunch of old Sierra adventures, which I was shocked to find languishing on "abandonware" sites, with nothing even remotely like them available commercially.
I hope you don't take offense at my technical theft of what might be some of your property, but unfortunately it has become the only way to obtain any of the classic adventure games like Sierra and Lucasfilm releases. They are now commercially non-existant. I found Sierra's own site totally lacking even an "adventure" category... let alone the slightest mention of any "Quest" beyond Masks of Eternity - which didn't really catch my interest.
This poses an interesting question. What is the status of this "abandoned" software. Movies and books have tended to "keep" and can be constantly re-released, rented on video, DVD, etc. Things like classic James Bond movies, Star Wars movies, Tolkien, even books by Stephen King or Clive Cussler, say, still remain valuable intellectual property decades after their initial release. The first Stephen King novel is still just as satisfying an experience for the new reader as his latest "bestseller"... and just as profitable for the publisher, who still no doubt still stocks it in bookstores. Lucas can seemingly endlessly tweak and re-release Star Wars and make more money on each new "special edition" than the last. Films with Sean Connery & Roger Moore as 007 still regularly crop up on network television, faithfully reaping in royalties as the original actors enter old age.
Yet Leisure Suit Larry languishes in the land of the lost code... virtually disowned by Sierra, his creator "banished", so to speak, without any rights to the creation. He is available only on the "underground", if you can even make him run on your new-fangled PC. As I see it, the only way I could get any reimbursement to you, as the creator of any further Larry games I play, would be to write out a personal check to "Al Lowe" and ask you for somewhere to send it... My mind boggles at this weird situation. Any thoughts?
I have to say that I have always admired you as the creative force behind the Larry games. Only upon discovering this web site did I realize how much you'd contributed to so many of the games I enjoyed over the years. Man, you wore a lot of hats there! More respect to you!
Anyway,
I have always enjoyed the idea of "adventure games". Even before personal computers were common I played paper based RPGs, and loved "Fighting Fantasy" type adventure books. What attracted me to these games was the idea of an original world with a story, plot advancement, characters and objects you could interact with and problems to solve, all integrated into the advancing story with you controlling the actions of the main character.
Sure, there was combat and some mechanics, but they were supposed to "serve" the story-telling. As the roleplaying world progressed, it actually became good gamesmaster practise to hide as much of the "background" dice rolling as possible from the players, fudge dice rolls to keep the plot moving along, and encourage players to use good roleplaying and ingenuity to get out of situations. Some systems even dispensed with the dice altogether and relied on the gamesmasters decided opinion as to what was and wasn't possible.
When the computer gaming industry matured sufficiently that identifiable genres like "adventure" or "RPG" became common, I found it interesting that the supposed computer "RPGs" tended to focus on mechanics, randomness and combat, with character advancement largely increased scores and little real sense of story or plot flow beyond hacking maze after maze of monsters and gathering generic treasure items.
"Adventure" games largely dispensed with the mechanics and combat and focused on creating real individual worlds and locations with atmosphere, plot, characters that integrate with the story, and solving logic/lateral thinking based problems with interaction between objects and characters in the game world.
It was these adventure games attracted me the most when I got access to a computer. The day I first saw and played Space Quest II, the first Sierra graphic adventure I ever saw, I was hooked. I felt I had discovered the "ideal" computer game format, from my point of view. Lush graphics, the best possible for a computer of the day, individually drawn for every scene, wandering around like a vast movie set with things to do and play with in all sorts of ways.
And, ironically, this was what I thought of as a 3D graphic adventure, as you could wander around objects in a seemingly real 3D third person space. It was different from first person 3D, but to my mind better, more immersive, more like a movie than a simulation. This was how games should be. I didn't miss the fighting and combat... it was more fun to get around monsters and things with cunning rather than arbitrary point scores or arcade skills. In fact I found that some games like Monkey Island, where you could hardly ever die, were actually more fun. Also I found that the Quest for Glory series was (minus the corny humor) closer to the spirit of original "tabletop" roleplaying games with a proper setting and campaign purpose, than the supposed "true RPGs" that were being released. Combat was there, but well integrated, not TOO much hassle, and not too reliant on arcade skills.
And when my Dad said I could play Larry 1 if I could answer the quiz - and I got it right, yeah! Great game. I enjoyed all the Leisure Suit Larry games I played immensely. When I read somewhere on this site that they are some of the best adventure games ever, I have to agree. LSL2 in particular stands out in my mind as a classic. So many locations, so many cool problems, something different always happening somewhere different, and such a great ending.
I spent years trying to figure out how to do a game like these, never coming close, as I had nowhere near the resources or knowledge at the time. So I played a lot of Sierra and other adventure and role playing games, programmed my own small text adventures and basic 2D graphic games, finished high school, got a job, got into the internet and multimedia, learnt a lot about graphics and animation and design and music, got a degree in multimedia design, worked in the internet industry until the bubble burst, and now find myself with lots of free time... and in a world where I realize the gaming scene has changed dramatically.
All of Sierras "star" designers gone - no more Al Lowe, Two Guys from Andromeda, Lori Cole... no more "adventure" games, King's Quest a first person action game with plenty of hack-n-slash and platform leaping...
Somewhere along the line the arcade action game has merged with the RPG, which has merged with the simulation into the sort of Quake style game that has taken over the industry. "3D" has become this odd buzzword that means exactly what the industry decides to define it as, but is is "must have" therefore "de-rigeur", no matter what. And currently it is defined as Quake style engines with first person 3D. Total focus seems to be on as fast a frame rate in real time as possible, with as much realistically rendered carnage and blood as possible, with blasting the crap out of everything the only gratification to be obtained. Basic gameplay remains unchaged from the ancient "Gauntlet" game - run around level after level of anonymous maze blasting everything in sight.
In this whole mess somewhere the entire adventure game concept either merged into this 3D first person aracde action game, or disappeared completely... no-one is exactly sure. Problems degenerated from relatively "realistic" interaction with an environment to rubiks cube type "puzzles" and mechanical problems involving pushing the rights buttons or knobs or whatevers the rights way in the right combination. This is really a completely different sort of game altogether, not problem solving.
Even the venerated Kings Quest has turned in this direction. But as I said, I'm not really that attracted to the game. I played both Ultima Underworlds ten years ago, realtime first person 3D is nothing new. I remember when it used to be plain vectors on an 8-bit system... and how revolutionary it was when computers were fast enough to actually fill them in with solid colors in real-time.
But the graphic adventure was always a seperate category that stood apart from, and in my mind above, these other games. I considered third person view with background art to be an artistic directional choice, not just a technical limitation to one day be overcome. The quality of the art in a graphic adventure was always the best of any game. Nothing else has ever captured the same individual atmosphere of each game so well, and allowed such exploitation of artistic flair and style over mere technical limitation.
Even now, if I look at screenshots of Kings Quest 7, the quality and richness of the imagery amazes me, but if I look at KQ8... it looks like something I could knock together in five minutes using Bryce... sure I know I can move around real time and all, but the individual detail is all gone.
Real time rendering simply cannot compete with what can be done given some time, either rendering a really detailed atmospheric picture with correct texturing and scaling and lighting, or getting an artist to draw something good. Even with 3D rendering, the result will always be better if the computer can take some time to do it properly and render really detailed models - good images take hours to render, not 1/24th of a second.
Besides, none of this is reason to dispense with plot and some decent involving puzzles.
Anyway, as I now have the resources and experience needed to actually develop something myself, I would like to give it a go. I've been rendering background graphics and models that I am happy with and would like to start building into a world to explore.
I was inspired by "fan" remakes of Kings Quest 1, redone in VGA with the AGS engine. Someone else is planning to do an SQ7, now that Sierra won't... Now I'm not actually interested in remaking some Sierra property, but I do like the concept, particularly the later icon driven adventures.
I've got engines like AGAST which can create graphic adventures, and I can load my backgrounds, program interfaces and objects and watch in awe as a sprite finally wanders around my own adventure world. (Eh.. if only I had these tools ten years ago!) Of course I have all my other pro graphics software and stuff, as well as a home music studio and recording equipment, plenty of development experience in other stuff, so I figure I can cover all the bases technically. Artistically I'll probably need some assistance with some things, as I'm a decent background and object artist and interface designer, but poor at people, realistic animals, their movements and animation, etc.
I plan to use high resolution, 24 bit color backgrounds with full anti-aliasing of sprites, good quality sounds and music, plenty of close up shots, and to try and make the interface as intuitive yet flexible as possible. Beyond that, everything is still on the drawing board.
But I noticed that you say on your site that you have some definite ideas on where adventure games should go.("...I've got some great ideas for revitalizing adventure games...") I can't exactly claim to be a publisher with a big budget ready to go, but I was wondering if you'd still be willing to share a few general ideas on where you think the genre should go, and how a modern adventure game should be done. I'm not asking for your secret plot ideas or how to make the next Larry game ;-) Just your ideas on the whole "3D/action/RPG/shoot-em-up/adventure" that we have now, whether you think a traditional adventure, albiet with modern high res (but largely pre-drawn/rendered) graphics and quality sound, can compete today, not necessarily as #1 best-seller award winning mega-game, but as a quality experience that many gamers would enjoy, perhaps even be commercially viable on a small but reasonable scale (i.e. paying production costs, not earning billions) if marketted and distributed properly. Or would you see the adventure evolve in a new, as yet unexplored direction?
I have a nasty suspicion about the gaming industry, which is that the whole thing comes down to expense.
Producing beautiful background screens and rendered animations is time consuming, requires real artists, and is thus expensive. Producing basic shapes rendered with generic textures is easy and faster, needs less "artistic" input as the "computer does the work" ;-), and is thus cheap.
Designing plots and characters with depth and problems to solve is time consuming, and requires real writers and people with ideas, and is thus expensive. Designing generic levels and populating them with generic "monsters" to kill and generic "puzzle" problems is easy, faster, doesn't need talented writers, and is much cheaper.
Was it really lack of interest/demand that killed adventure games, or just cost of production vs shoot-em ups?
Am I walking down a darkened dead end alley, or can you throw me a torch here?
Thanking you now for all the great games, and in advance for any reply I may receive,
Caleb Fuller
Hey Al,
It is really an honour to have a chat with the man who gave me my education with Leisure Suit Larry Series.
I read the article about Larry being dead and that the "Ultimate pleasure Pack" ended up an "Utimate Failure Pack", or so I believe. ( How did it sell by the way?)
I played my first Larry when I was 5 , Leisure suit Larry 3 , 'cos my mom was a technical support person for Unisys South Africa, I was into computers from the time my eyes opened for the first time. Larry was a big hit in South Africa amongst gamers for years and I still have people today asking me where they can find stores that sell copies of the series, and it makes me wanna cry when I say that larry is no more.
I was "educated" by the likes of Larry, and his quest partners from the kings quest,hero's quest, eco quest, space quest, series'.. you name 'em I played 'em. There is not a single adventure I have not played, that is why I am so passionate patti, about all this whole "Larry being iced" saga.
I think sierra are damn ungrateful and should hang their heads in shame for discarding the very characters who made them what they are, Its an outrage!! If it weren't for you and the Williams' they would have been out collecting trash today!!....You all are the legacy of Sierra.
Anyway, they do not have an excuse for what they did, it was plain stoopid. I mean, Lucasarts released a press article that they are re-introducing the Full Throttle Title because it is the most-beloved classic, I quote Simon Jeffrey - Lucasarts President : "We can't think of a better brand or character to lead LucasArts' charge into a new era of original game development. Ben so perfectly symbolizes our legacy and yet has just the right mix of attitude and edge to appeal to a new generation of game players."
Why the hell can't Sierra do the same...Their dumb,dumb, dumb.......The just can't market a product those dummies. Have you approached Lucasarts perhaps, do you think they might be interestedin ressurrecting our little buddy? I bet there are millions of supporters out there who would back you. Let me know your thoughts
Have a nice day !!!

The thing I have to tell is that they're GREAT! Those new multi cd , games with fx and so is just Nothing compared to them. (By the way I think I had a few grammer mistakes if so sorry) I would like to see LSL8 and buy it if the orginal game comes here also. Thanks for creating a real new type of pc game Al

I must disagree with the feeling that adventure games are dead. Many RPG's are in essence adventure games, for example: Baldur's Gate. RPG's, like traditional adv. games, have pre-written stories, and players simply play the role of the "adventurer"!

What happened to Sierra? King's Quest 8 I think isn't a real King's Quest and Larry 8 is cancelled. Now Sierra is another same-as-the-rest game factory: Et Tu Sierra!

Mr. Lowe i am a big fan of yours and everything that you have created. I am very thankful for what you and your colleagues have done for computer gaming and computers in general. Being in the military i dont get much of a chance to have fun or laugh, but when i do its usually because of Larry when he comes to life on my laptop. Thanks for everything Mr. Lowe.

Larry 1 was the first game I ever saw and played. It was great and I still return to the series to play an episode. You have made an everlasting footprint as a pioneer and artist in this today overflooded market, and would have been a lot less fun without you! For me there´s just "too much Disney". Please read my other letter to you. We have to make sure the world gets Larry 8! .....and 9 and 10 and 11 .. and..... I take off my hat for my computer idol! Best Regards Carl

WHY are they canceling Leisure Suit Larry 8?? What is wrong with them? Larry is the only video game I've ever played. I don't understand, how could you guys do this to me? It was my life, and you guys have just ruined it. I just figured out they were making an 8th after playing Casino today, and I just figured out they were NOT making one the same day. Please give me comments, and maybe even send me the unfinished game.

Hey Al, I grew up with Sierra games... I learned how to read by watching my older brother play the old space quests, king's quests, police quests, and yes even leisure suit larrys. Every now and then I meet people at college who also grew up with these games. It is really sad what has happened to sierra. I've kept all the old game boxes and disks (even though I can't play the 5 1/4 " disks anymore! :-) ) and every now and then I'll play an old game and the responses that some of the commands give you still make me laugh. Those games had an awful lot of personality. Even my mom played them; I remember when I was maybe 5 or 6 trying to figure out rumpelstiltskin's name in KQ1 with my mom. Oh well, thanks for all the memories man! :-)

I think it's odd that Disco is back and Larry isn't. We now hear "Boogie oogie oogie" and countless Bee Gees' songs we thought we threw out with our eight track player, on the radio as "JAMMIN OLDIES!" Larry would have loved it. God help us if we live in a time when Larry is actually Cool. Al, we have a very active Jazz scene, would like to hear you play. Get a gig in Pittsburgh, Hey, Billy Strayhorn, Amad Jamal, Earl Hines, Not too shabby a company for the burgh. Larry Uber Allus...

I've been a Sierra Fan for a long time, but lately, Sierra just sucks. It was much better with all of the good programers that did stuff, like Jim Wallas (sp??) Al Lowe(d??), Ken Williams, Ect... What The F#@* Happened? LSL games are good (although I'm not suppose to play them, I still do) I must say, I did subscribe to INN, I liked it, expecialy when my parent's credit card was lost *I didn't do it!*:) anyway I still played them. Please, make a new type of LSL game, call it Disco Time Jerry or something!?!?!?
December 16, 1999
I have recently re-discovered the Larry series, and personally hold LSL 7 to be the best of the series. Although I am greatly saddened to discover that the prospect of LSL 8 seems increasingly unlikely, I would like to congratulate you for creating one of the most memorable characters in the computer gaming world.

If some other Larry fans see this i i think you should do the same go to Sierra.com and COMPLAIN!!! -LARRY is SIERRA!- I hope you will keep on going with the Larry series, and that LSL8 and 9 , and 10 and 11 and.... soon will be out!

Hi Al! I have to tell you that I really appreciate your work, and that I am as angry at Sierra as you are. I hated them for the Sierra-Utilities, placing them everywhere on my computer, but that now has gone too far! I have thought of sponsoring you to buy the rights for Larry from Sierra, but would my 10000 Dollars be enough? I am not sure. A car, or Larry 8! :-) No, I really hope that you will one day be able to release Larry 8. At the moment I am downloading the movie... And there are two things I want to ask you. First of all, has your daughter the same humour you have, and... how old is she? ;-) And the second thing is: Is "Good Bye" really that what you want to tell your "fans"? That's one of the last things I thought your answer would be! (GameStar-interview) Well, don't be discouraged and keep trying! Nicolas

Yes, The leisure suit larry series. Started playing those when I was 9. Sure, I was underaged but it was either that or Space commando's. Not knowing what LSL was about I discovered stranged new words such as 'prophylactic', 'virgin' and 'ribbed'. And that kind of education is important to a kid. uh, thanks AL, I guess. Let's see LSL8 in the near future (I'm now overage) and hopefully not in the form of a 3D multiplayer adventure game.

Dear Mr. Lowe, There is nothing much to say. For me, Larry is the best adventure ever (100% lifestyle), and it was the first game I've played when I was in school. Our teacher told us to write pascal programs but we prefered playing Leisure Suit Larry in the land of the Lounge Lizards (do you like Lurie's band too?). Thanks Al for your funny games - they will resist time. Best, thomas

It angers me that those bloody bastards at Sierra fired you!!! Leisure Suit Larry is the greatest computer adventure game series EVER! The sad thing is that the series was getting better and better as it progressed. Lsl 7 must be my favorite game of all time! And I have been faithfully awaiting the day that "Larry Explores Uranus" came out. Until, I read about black monday. Anyway, you're the greatest, Al. I hope that those simpletons at Sierra changes their mind and comes back crawling on their knees toward you. p.s. your humor section is absolutely hilarious.

Al best of luck

Maybe you and Scott Murphy can bring Larry and Roger into the next Larry game when (not if) it gets made.
