The Return Of Leisure Suit Larry

Thanks to Blue's News for their article pointing out playboy gaming icon Leisure Suit Larry will be returning to videogames, since a Computer Games magazine cover "reveals plans for Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude." According to the piece, "This would mark the eighth installment in the exploits of the polyester-clad would-be Romeo, whose last [adventure] gaming appearance was over six years ago now", and it's noted that "the teaser makes a reference to similarities to Grand Theft Auto." Unfortunately, AdventureGamers have also learned "that [original series creator] Al Lowe has nothing to do with this new game."

Finally, a reason for 3D Pr0n0-graphics

Ati and Nvidia should be getting involved with this! This could be huge! Consoles are still limited by their huge license fees--they have to gaurantee to sell copies. A properly constructed DirectX 9 game could do wonders! We've all seen "Dawn" and DOA beach volleyball. This would be a great excuse for nekid, 3d accelerated, computer animated chicks! [Every /.ers wet dream!] They would of course need a Linux port---even OSS geeks need "some".

A truly "X" rated game would be cool... more so if it had "tasteful" "adventures". Done right such a game could actually be fun too. but they might have "regulatory" issues...release it as "R" rated then allow you to verify online that you are old enough to view the "good" stuff. Actually speaking of "online" it could bring a whole new dimension to MMORGs! combine Chat, Cybersex, and 3d realtime gameing and you'd have a Winner!

Of course this could have great system benchmarking purposes as well. The latest crop of test suites is pretty bo-ring...any benchmark involving ## of 3D jiggly boobies per second would be welcome!

Leasure Suit Larry Crossover

I can easily imagine a crossover of Leasure Suit Larry and Animal Crossing.

"Larry! Put down the sheep and back away!"
