With a lot of news this month you’d think it would slow down, but not so! As I’ve been informed by Andrew McCarthy through our IndieRetroNews Facebook page, that the 1987 hit adventure game of Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards by Sierra, is being ported over to the C64 by RetroBytes. Just be aware however, even though there is footage of the game below, another version was in the works by a different developer, but that one never came to be .It was noted that the game’s original AGI engine was not compatible with the C64’s technical limitations. So lets hope this one sees the light of day.
According to google “Leisure Suit Larry is a series of graphic adventure games that have been released on various platforms. However, it is important to note that the original Leisure Suit Larry game was not officially released for the C64. The game was initially released for the IBM PC in 1987, and while there have been discussions and projects related to porting the game to the C64, no official release has occurred”. So lets hope this one is finished and we can all experience a bit of Larry on our C64’s!
