Re: Leisure Suit Larry
#12I think this genre of games is ripe for a comeback on iOS. Just try to avoid having the keyboard pop up all the time and it should be great.. Although discovering the secret commands and hidden jokes by randomly trying words was half the fun of the old Quest titles.
I've started an ios game in the spirit of SQ2, have done a lot of the code, production artwork for a few scenes, and scribbled artwork for all the rest. I'd love to finish it but my designer is too busy to continue.
Got any scribbles to share? Sounds really interesting.

#13The game has no major female characters who aren't hookers.
No arguing that LSL has its place in gaming history, but it doesn't have a place in a future that is trying its hardest to remove objectification of women from society.

I absolutely agree with you. But if they make LSL for now, it'll keep me occupied and happy for a while before we get to meet Roger Wilco again.

I have to agree with this. A lot of people are probably remembering the game through rose coloured glasses. It was a great game when we were all kids and got excited at the prospect of seeing a nipple.
It's a little disappointing to see immature misogynistic entertainment getting so many upvotes on HN.

#16Ever wish sometimes you could take money away from Kickstarter projects? LSL is one of those things that should be left in the '80s.

I'm sorry you're getting downvoted. I think this comment adds to the conversation quite a bit, and this is actually the conversation I was expecting to see when I came to check out the comments. It's crazy to see this so recently after Geeklist, Sqoot, etc.
Please, downvoters, read this essay: http://notrichyet.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/whats-the-big-dea...

I have to agree with i386. There's a pretty disturbing screenshot where Larry says that "this is the hooker's seedy bedroom. The bed's a mess, so is the hooker!".
