His quest involves four possible women: a nameless, seedy-looking sex worker Fawn, a club-goer of low moral fiber Faith, a receptionist who (true to her name) is faithful to her boyfriend and Eve, a bathing beauty and Larry's ultimate goal. Larry starts with nothing but an out-of-style 1970s disco-era leisure suit and $94 in his pocket.

Having grown weary of his lonely existence, he decides to visit the resort city of Lost Wages (a parody of ' Las Vegas') hoping to experience what he has not lived before and to finally find the woman of his dreams.

The protagonist, Larry Laffer, is a 38-year-old (40-year-old in the 1991 remake) 'loser' who lives in his mother's basement and has not yet lost his virginity. A second, high-definition remake, titled Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded, was developed by N-Fusion Interactive working with the Larry series' creator Al Lowe and published by Replay Games in 2013. It was followed by a long series of sequels and spin-offs over decades, beginning with Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places) in 1988. The game's overall plot and basic structure follow that of Softporn Adventure, Sierra's own 1981 Apple II text adventure that did not feature Larry.ĭespite a lack of advertising, the game was a sleeper hit and a commercial and critical success. Land of the Lounge Lizards establishes several elements which recur in the later Leisure Suit Larry games, including Larry's campy attire, perpetual bad luck with women, and penchant for double-entendres. The game's story follows its player character of a middle-aged male virgin named Larry Laffer as he desperately tries to ' get lucky' in the fictional American city of Lost Wages. In 1991, Sierra released a remake version, titled Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards, that used the Sierra's Creative Interpreter (SCI) engine, with 256 colors, and a point-and-click, icon-driven (as opposed, to the original's text-based) user interface, released for the PC DOS, Apple Macintosh, and Amiga. It utilizes the Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine. It was developed for the PC, DOS, and the Apple II, and later ported, to other platforms, such as the Amiga, Atari ST, Apple II GS, Macintosh, and, the Tandy Color Computer 3. Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is a graphic adventure game, developed by Sierra On-Line, and published in 1987.
