Rambutaan: - Leisure Suit Larry series
2 years ago, Al Lowe visited Finland and the Alternative Party as the guest speaker. We had a bunch of fun things, like the "David Hasselhoff Big Band" playing, and Al played with them on sax. He gave quite a nice speech, signed practically every game developer from Finland's original copies of the Leisure Suit Larry games, joined ISO (I imagine he wonders what the heck happened there now) and gave away prizes of some of the original source code listings for some of his early games.
He's a very cool person.
Heck, he added _me_ on Facebook, not the other way around.
So, if you are having issues at all getting the Leisure Suit Larry series on here, I'm sure he'd be glad to work with you in some way to do something with them.
(Mind you, if he doesn't get any royalties from the current owner of the intellectual property, it may just be him being a nice guy and all - I have NO idea who has that license. And I would HOPE Al would get some portion of my purchase when you start selling them.
Just saying... talk to Al. If nothing else, he'd love to share jokes with you. )
(Also, this is obviously about the old Leisure Suit Larry games. Not the new ones. He has opinions on those, which are not good. Interestingly, another friend of mine worked on the NEW ones, and has the similar opinion of Al's games. To each their own, I guess.)
[edit: whoops, made it look like he gave the source code to LSL away. Nope, but I think someone got some of Police Quest 1. Unsure. To be honest I wanna know what happened to those prizes cuz, seriously, those were wicked prizes (: ]
