This did turn into a discussion of the Larry 2 copyright protection, so keep reading on…
(GONE TO AARON) A free Sierra 1991 catalog for anyone who wants it, it’s the one with the rainbow spectrum and the Sierra logo on the front. Some of the pages are slightly wrinkled, but it’s in good condition. If you’ve lost all your old catalogs and are now kicking yourself, here’s a chance to get one back, for free.
(GONE TO EMILY) Also for free… a photocopy of the LSL2 manual. I don’t know why anyone would want this, but who knows. It was in a copy of LSL2 I acquired… along with the original manual. I’m keeping the original of course, but if for some reason someone wants the photocopy, I’ll send it to you. Otherwise, it goes into the recycling in a couple days.

(re: Free: Sierra Spectrum Catalog) Well, I don’t remember which version I tried it on, but the cheat I am talking about is the one that Al Lowe has on his website:
When I was testing the game, I quickly grew tired of looking up the telephone numbers of all those girls so I made my birthday a substitute for any or all of them: 0724. (Of course, there’s a 555- before that number.)
And now that you know my birthday, I expect a card!
But it never worked for me. Are we talking about the same cheat? If it worked for you, I’ll have to go try it again. I do actually have numerous versions of LSL2. I should check exactly which versions it works for, and let Al know so he can add that info to his website. -

(re: Free: Sierra Spectrum Catalog) OK, that’s probably a version # for something else on the collection or for the collection itself (although the collections themselves rarely had version #s, if there is a version file in the root of the CD, it usually applies to one of the CD versions of the games on the CD (such as Larry 6 or something)). You can find out the actual game version by going to ‘About’ in the game. I suspect it’s version 1.002.000, which is the version I have on my collection CD (the “collection series” release). I just tried the cheat and yay! it worked. You’re right about it skipping the intro though. So I must have previously been playing another version. Well, I will get around to checking it out and letting Al know if there is any descreptancy between versions. I’ll report back here too.
Alright, I thought I had two other versions of the game, but I can only find one. It’s version 1.000.011 and the cheat does NOT work for it. -
(re: Larry 2 copyright protection) If you go to Al Lowe’s website (allowe.com) and go to Games / Leisure Suit Larry / Clues & Cheats, scroll down to the Larry 2 area and you’ll see a nice new chart of the Larry 2 women and their phone numbers. It’s perfect for printing and probably even clearer than the manual (not to mention that it’s in color), in case you’re playing the version of the game where the cheat doesn’t work.
Another new update in that area is scroll down to Larry 3 and you’ll see Al’s original drawing of the bamboo maze and a short story about how it was programmed.
