Yup, i could not agree enough! Without Al Lowe, it simply ain’t Leisure Suit Larry! We were all dissapointed when Leisure Suit Larry 8 : Lust in Space, got the axe… Then Suddenly they unleashed that dreadful, pervert laden… Magna Cum Laude, which lacked any kind of sophisticated humour, was more a mini game clone, than an adventure game, and to top it off, Al Lowe was not even contacted in the end to help out… Which resulted in a lack luster title, which sadly ruined our great old leisure suit larry series… Not to mention the fact, that larry is not even a key figure, but instead, his hillbilly looking nephew has assumed the role. With that said, i could care less for this new larry game, ill keep my eye out, but if its anything like the last, i would not even want a pirated copy of it…. My condolences to Mr Al Lowe, we will never forget who created this great series…

And as it turns out, Sierra (in its Vivendi incarnation) actually planned on giving the King’s Quest series a similar makeover to the one they gave Larry. Adventuregamers has a story on this, with two concept images:

Thank god they didn’t go ahead with this one… still, I wonder if Ken or Roberta ever heard of Vivendi’s intentions to ressurect the franchise back then.
