''Leisure Suit Larry'' is the title character of a series of Adult Adventure Game s written by Al Lowe and published by Sierra On-Line from the 1980s to the present. The character, whose "actual" name is Larry Laffer , is a Balding , dorky, Double Entendre speaking, Leisure Suit -wearing (but still somewhat lovable) loser in his 40s who spends much of his life trying (usually unsuccessfully) to seduce attractive women. The "Larry" games were one of Sierra's most popular game series during the genre's heydays. As such, they remain well-known among fans of the type today. The series stands out among Sierra's catalog in that they are the only games the company produced that contain significant sexual themes and nudity. In general, the games follow Larry's escapades as he attempts (and mostly fails) to convince a variety of young nubile women (rendered with increasing sophistication throughout the series) to have sex with him. A common link between the games are Larry's explorations of luxurious and cosmopolitan hotels, ships, beaches, resorts, and more commonly, casinos. One of Larry's trademarks is his manner of introducing himself: "Hi, my name is Larry; Larry Laffer." Because of the nature of the games, the first and third episodes of the series featured an age verification system, which consisted of a series of questions to which the authors reasoned only adults would know the answer. However, many of the questions were American-centric and this frustrated some non- American gamers. Also, the multiple-choice questions did little to deter Adolescents with some patience and a notepad. (The verification system could be skipped by pressing Alt-X in episode one, or Ctrl-Alt-X in episode three.) THE GAMES
