If going Emulation, and not quite familiar with Sierra AGI Games, these games pre-dated the era of Mice, and were predominantly keyboard driven. It uses what is called a Text Parser to command the character around. So there is no mouse (well, there is one in SCUMMVM but I don't like using it much), and expect to spend some time getting used to the game telling you "I don't know what that is" or "What is a cell phone?".

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is generally considered an "adult oriented" computer game by it's subject nature. It involves drugs, sexual situations, and even a rare part of it few encounter deals with self destructive behavior (well...if I take a step back and look a LOT of it involves self-destructive behavior, lol). As such, the game requires that you be 18 years old to play it! That said, CreepingNet nor his affiliates or anyone else is responsible for your actions but you, or if under 18, your parents (seriously Parents, start parenting your children and stop blaming the internet for everything!!!!) by playing this game. And to be completley frank and honest, compared to the kinds of stuff you can find on a teenagers computer in 2023, I'm pretty darned sure this is next-to-nothing by modern standards, so that said, if you're looking for something that goes beyond 2 a.m. on HBO or Cinemax in 1990, then you're probably not going to find much entertainment. But if you want a good, funny, if a bit "randy" comedy graphical adventure game to play in MS-DOS - then yeah, I'd say go for it. Use your discretion.

And the comedy starts with a quiz at the beginning, which I will later provide the Q & A for because it's 2023, and a lot of the pop-culture references are aligned for someone 18 and up in 1986, and thusly flies past some Xennials, all Millennials, and especially Zoomers even if they are 40 years old like me.

When the game opens you will be greeted with the title screen, credits, animation, and the Leisure Suit Larry theme, press "Any Key" - meaning any key on the keyboard - to kick off the pre-game Test. Just a hint - the Pre-Game Test can be bypassed by hitting CTRL+ALT+X at exactly the right time at startup, where then you will be greeted with "Now Slip into your Leisure Suit" welcome message before progressing to the opeining in front of Lefty's Bar.

All Sierra AGI Titles of course, save for the Black Cauldron and the original 1984 IBM box release of King's Quest (and I think the Manhunter games too), have a "taskbar" at the top accessed by pressing escape. There you can save your game, reload a saved game (something you will be doing a LOT playing these old sierra games), change the speed of the character walking (and keep in mind this also alters the in-game timer so on faster PC's it might make it too fast to play or even complete), fool your boss that you're working with a very outdated looking bar graph, perform bodily functions, see the AGI version, all that fun stuff. It's all accessed by pressing ESC and navigated using the Arrow Keys or Numeric Keypad (Make sure Num Lock is off).

Larry walks using the Numeric Keypad as an 8-way Joystick, though the arrow keys work too. The Numeric Keypad is a bit better though, because it allows Larry 8-way direction, and sometimes that might help when evading an enemy or navigating stairs.

Larry "does stuff" by typing in a command. For example, if you want to talk to someone you can type Talk To (insert person here) and Larry will have a discussion with them, or Pick Up or Take plus the name of the object you want to take to pick up an object. You can also Use objects with other objects. There are many other undocumented words and commands that can be used as well...some that should be fairly obvious given the situation **wink**wink**...that said, hopefully that sheds some light on how to operate a mid 1980's IBM PC Computer game by Sierra.

Johnny Carson is....
A.) A Singer
B.) David Letterman's Sidekick

The Johnny Carson show was a late night comedy/variety TV show on NBC from back in the 1980's and before. He had a co-host named Ed McMahon, also known for being a spokesman for various sweepstakes that promised you to become a millionaire if you won.

VCR Stands For... A.) Very Confusing Record
B.) Visual Cartridge Recording
C.) Very Complete Record
D.) Video Cassette Recorder
Before BlueRay, before DVD, even before LaserDisc, there was a video recording standard known as "VHS" that we used to watch movies on, which got it's start in the late 1970's. The movies were stored on magnetic tape that was wound around two bobbins inside the little 12"x5" "box" that was called a "Videocassette" or "VHS Tape".

Is this software pirated?
A.) Yes
B.) I'm Not Talking
C.) No. (How Could You Even Ask)
D.) No. just borrowed. Computer software piracy was quickly becoming a hot topic as the 1980's went on. It was a very popular practice to copy your floppy diskettes and share them with your friend's so they could try out a computer game. On one hand, back then, you could EASILY copy any commercially released video game, and even copy/Xerox the copy protection, or download a crack from a BBS. On the alternate side, many people would share their full $49.99 computer game with a friend to use on their computer (with hard disk), which meant that the game could remain installed on the computer even after the user gave the disks back to the rightful owner. Eventually it gave rise to the NSF (National Software Foundation)'s "Dont Copy That Floppy" campaign in the early 1990's.

Pia Zadora is...
A.) Sexy
B.) A Singer
C.) Short
D.) All of the above
Pia Zadora is an attractive actress who played in many movies. I remember her most for playing Ric Ocasek's girlfriend in the 1987 John Waters movie "Hairspray". Ric Ocasek was playing the mute beatnik painting in the corner in the movie. He's best known as one of two Lead Singers of the 80's rock band "The Cars" - which is one of my top 5 favorite bands.

Let it be was recorded by...
A.) The Rolling Stones
B.) The Monkees
C.) Creedence Clearwater
D.) The Beatles
The Beatles, at least in the 1990's on back, were one of the most famous rock n' roll bands of all time. They had many major hit songs including "Let It Be", "Get Back", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", and some other well known songs outside the radio. They were as big as Nirvana was to my generation, and were often cited as the ones responsible for starting the "British Invasion" of rock groups in the 1960's which also included The Who (my wife's favorite), The Rolling Stones, and The Yardbirds.

All politicians are... A.) Hardworking

Another Beatles question. The Beatles, the rock band I mentioned in the "Let It Be" question, were a rock band from Liverpool who came to the USA in 1964 spawning the british invasion. Their members included Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Star, and George Harrison. George Harrison was the lead guitarist.

During the 70's, Carroll O'connor portrayed a...
A.) Kindly Doctor
B.) A Lovable Biggot
C.) Handicapped Lawyer
D.) Negro Junk Dealer
Carroll O' Conner was the actor for the character Archie Bunker, a witty, deadpan, biggoted middle-aged and older man. Sort of the stereotype of the average middle aged American father-type of the 1970's - it's like F is for Family (you know, with Bill Burr as Frank Murphy), but it was actually made in it's time period.

The song "American Pie" was about...
A.) micegenation
B.) Marilyn Chambers
C.) A Dead Rock Star
D.) Four minutes too long
Don McClean wrote this song and released it, I think around 1973, 1974, maybe 1975. It was about the tragic plane crash that took the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly. Who are those guys? All three were 1950's rock stars. The Big Bopper with a big dude with a baritone voice, Valens was a latino guitar player, and Buddy Holly was kind of a nerdy lookin' dude who played a sunburst Fender Stratocaster guitar, and is one of Ric Ocasek's influences (see Pia Zadora). The song is about "the day the music died" - referring to when all three of those guys died in a plane crash in a snowstorm. There's even a 1980's movie about it.

If you really want to hear more about this, I suggest the Ray Stevens comedy song "The STreak"...."here he comes (boogidy boogidy), there he goes (boogidy boogidy)....". That song was a hit in the 1970's while this craze was going on. I don't know TOO much about it but it was enough of a trend to cause a stir, at least ofr awhile in the 1970's.

Peter Benchley's novel "Jaws" was about... A.) Linda Lovelace

The tackiest seventies fashion was....
A.) Platform Shoes
B.) midi-skirts
C.) short hair

In the 1980's, the 1970's were considered very ugly, passe, and awful. Everyone was ragging on everything that happened in that decade from bell bottoms, to pet rocks, to Chiapets, to top 40 disc jockeys. Every decade, humanity seems to hate the decade immediatley previous, only to try and revive said decade 20+ years later missing it out of rose colored nostalgia. I lived the "Retro 70's" in the 1990's.

O.J. Simpson is.....

A.) Bill Gates
B.) Steve Wozniak
C.) Ken Williams

Anyone else notice the notable absense of Steve Jobs here? Everyone thinks that Apple Computer is all the work of that "hustlin' genius" Steve Jobs. To be honest, Steve Jobs did FUCK-ALL except marketing and being a talking head - kind of like the President - the REAL work was done in back by Steve Wozniak. While Wozniak had little to nothing to do with the Apple Macintosh (which lost to the IBM PC), he DID have a LOT to do with the Apple II - which falls not far from the same tree IBM's PC came from.

In 1986, the prospect of having a hard drive (now often referred to as an SSD) in your computer either meant you were rich, worked a job that really required you to own one, and if you had one, you were really lucky. 1986 was the first year for the Tandy 1000 SX - my first computer (which I got in 1997 unfortunatley - yes NINTEY SEVEN) - and that computer had 2 360K DSDD "actually floppy" floppy drives, but it could play this game, actually it was MADE to play Sierra AGI Adventure games, shame I never got any at that time (or a good electronics tutorial for the Programmable Interrupt Timer chip I could have replaced)

Okay, hookay, before you LGTBQ+ get your anger in a jumble, remember this was 1986 and social norms, and social acceptance was WAAAAY different back then. Please don't cancel them, just cut em' some slack that it was a different time, a different place, and this has no reflection on the game whatsoever.
