(LSL without Al???) According to the latest news on the Allowe.com message board (who knows whether or not it is true) there will be a new LSL coming up. To me as a devoted LSL fan this is some great news…
But: What I read in some of the messages on this forum is quite a shock to me. How can someone possibly say LSL could ever exist without Al Lowe?? You can’t be serious. LSL is nothing without Al’s unique sense of humour and creativity. Personally I am convinced that Al put a part of himself into this awesome character and if Al won’t be there for Sierra, there can be no Larry for Sierra fans. Creating a new Larry without Al Lowe is like stuffing a puppet and I am not sure I would want to spend money to see this puppet dance. I really can’t help but not care about some Hobbit-screenshots. What I want is Larry Laffer and I want Al Lowe to make it for me. Just look at Daventry, or what become of it without Roberta’s supervision. It’s King’s Quest minus the charms and the magic. The result is nothing more than another dumb run-a-round and put-that-key-into-that-door kind of game. Does anyone here really want to see the same thing happen to Larry? I don’t!
If anything of those rumors should turn out to be true, it is time for the Sierra (Larry) comunity to show what it is worth and make Sierra hire Al in order to make our Larry live on!
