I’m currently working as a research assitant, going over old papers.One of them (1993) contains a review of “Leisure Suit Larry 6”. The review did get some facts wrong (for exapmle, it says that Al Lowe joined Sierra at 1987), but it also mentioned some interesting facts – for example, the an Album with songs devoted to Larry came out. Any truth to this?

(re: Leisure Suit Larry LP?) Hmm… I haven’t heard about this. Perhaps someone else knows?
But I wanted to ask you, where are you working as a research assistant? What are you researching? Also, what kind of stuff are you accessing? Stuff like reviews or anything else you’re looking at may very well be of interest to us here. It’d be great to hear from you, you can click on my name and then my email address in my profile to email me.

(re: Leisure Suit Larry LP?) I work as an assitant on a private research, conducted by a media expert. Most of the work, as I said, is going over old papers in the national library of my country (Israel). I can’t go into details about the research, but it has nothing to do with anything as interesting as computer gamimg, I’m afraid 🙂
Still, when I do come across interesting stuff, I take notice. In fact, this is the second time I came across a reference for Larry. The first was a 1989 article about kids and sex-related sofware. The first Larry game was discussed there, though I think the reporter actually wrote about what she heard from the kids she interviewed, rather than checking the game herself – if she had done so, I think she would have realized that the game’s tone was far less extreme than what she described.
In comparison, the review I mentioned above was a lot more balanced, noting that the game was more about gags than about sex, and that it would actually fit anyone who’s above 13.
