Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places) is the second game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series. Continuing the plot of the previous game,
the swinging single Larry Laffer, has finally found his true love and
is happily living with her. Right? Wrong!.. Because Larry is
mercilessly thrown out by his great love and is left all alone,
penniless, and womanless, in Los Angeles. Accidentally, Larry comes
into contact with KGB agents who will pursue him all over the globe
from now on. And there is also the evil doctor Noontonyt plotting evil
schemes on a remote tropical island... Looks like Larry will have to
forget about his women-related problems for now... or is it so? (From Mobygames description)

Leisure Suit Larry 2 History

Roberta Williams, who designed Sierra's first game, Mystery House
in 1980, felt it was time to write another murder mystery which lived
up to the computer capabilities of the late eighties. Mystery House,
which was put on public domain in 1988, was the first computer game ever
with graphics, but it lacked colors, animation and sound. The Colonel's
Bequest was developed, using EGA graphics, Sierra's SCI engine, sound
and a music score, as well as featuring a deeper plot and more detailed
character descriptions.
The game has a sequel, The Dagger of Amon Ra, which is also the last Laura Bow game. Both games are also included in the 1997 King's Quest Collection and the Roberta Williams Anthology. Although the original release of The Colonel's Bequest can still relatively easily be found on online auctions, a complete
original game is considered as a true collector's item, as it contains
many goodies which are often missing from second-hand sales,
particularly the Laura Bow pen and notebook. The games copyright
protection is also quite original: the gamer needs to use a magnifying
glass (included in the box) to identify a fingerprint on the game
screen.
