Al Lowe back is fantastic news I hope they do the remakes 'Love for Sail' style. Hidden dildos and all.
Only one I played was Magna Cum Laude. I loved it.
If it sucks in comparison to the originals, then they must be gaming gold.

Proof that when it comes to remakes and rereleases, everyone has a price. No exceptions. If someone says they hate remakes, they're a liar and they don't know it yet; their game of choice simply hasn't been announced for a remake/rerelease yet.
OT: This news makes me excited like none other. I loved LsL's 6 and 7 a huge hell of a lot, and have been curious about the earlier installments.

@ayreonmaiden: Quite, though I'm less interested in the remakes for myself than I am for others who haven't had the experience of Larry yet. New games, on the other hand...
Only one I actually played was Magna Cum Laude - it was ok, I guess...nothing so sh*tty, but nothing so awesome either. Passable, at best.
Can't wait to see the others, actually.

This is the only HD remake that makes sense, all those babes in these games, now animated in gloriuos 1080p
@Conrad: Ah, I gotcha. For me, rereleases are as important as new IPs. We have an industry that's old enough to have a bounty of classics worth revisiting in some way, be it in exactly their original form or in a remixed, perhaps improved way.
I love when I hear about remakes of classics, or of GOG acquiring the rights to a certain classic, or of older games made available on iOS/PSN/XBLA/Virtual Console...I was a dumb kid with his head full of Pokemon when many of these classics came out, and now that I'm patient enough to handle things like 4X Strategy and Space Trading/Sims, I only wish that some of those games would be revisited in some way in this day and age...

Ok. I'm intrigued. Can't say that i honestly loved any game in the series cept for Love for Sail, but if the do re-releases right, my opinion about older games may change as well.
This is awesome, I can't wait have unprotected sex with that hooker upstairs at leftys and then disinegrate after.
Complaining about game remakes is like complaining about old movies being re-released on DVD or BluRay, stupid. That being said, I've never played Leisure Suit Larry, and this looks like the perfect opportunity to jump on board.
This is awesome news. I cut my teeth on Sierra games. My dad actually let me play Leisure Suit Larry 6 after he got it... I think I was seven. I clearly remember asking him what a "jimmy hat" was. He never told me. Even worse, his lack of response led me to try to figure it out on my own, and thanks to that description and the way the little low-res inventory graphic looked, I thought condoms were little sombreros until I was a teenager.
The LSL series did adult games right: it had mature subject matter, but it handled it in a charming and genuinely funny way. And I'm thrilled that Al Lowe is involved. He's been chomping at the bit to make a game since LSL7. (Anybody remember Sam Suede?)

Didn't mind Magna Cum Laude. Had some good ideas and moments but it really didn't have the same charm as the older games. As for Box Office Bust? Only played an hour of it and hated it. Felt like it was written by the type of people who think the likes of Meet The Spartans and Epic Movie are the heights of comedy gold.
I used to really enjoy the older games though and wouldn't mind playing them again especially with updated visuals. Would like to play lsl7 though as I never got to and copies of that are hard to get hold of never mind get to work.

I remember playing the one where he goes into a cruise and has to seduce captain Thighs; the thing is that I played it with Spanish subtitles and her name was Capitan Quemuslos, which to me was funnier than Thighs.
I'd love to see the earlier games with an upgrade :D

You're nuts, Magna Cum Laude was the good game, (not great, but enjoyable) it was Box Office Bust that was the true defilement of the series! It was so broken that it was almost unplayable, at least MCL had T&A (a staple of the series) and had a few interesting gameplay options. BOB was just abhorrent from beginning to end on all fronts. The publishers knew how terrible it was and sold it for $20 brand new!!!
@Nicholas Patrick: You're not reading it properly. I agree. Box Office Bust is abhorrent. Magna Cum Laude was awful, but at least it had some measure of humor to it.
wow, just wow, what a crazy coincidence, I was just LAST NIGHT playing a few of the old Leisure Suit Larry games for the first time, this is absolutely crazy that I read this news today, I'm literally stunned
I guess I'll put off continuing playing the old ones and wait for this, I wonder if they'll have nudity?
on a side note, I actually LIKED Magna Cum Laude (at least the uncut version)
