Q: How many molecules are there in a glass of water? To protect America's children (our future!), in order start the game it had a bizarre and fun age authentication quiz where players would be asked five questions that only an adult would be able to answer, or so they thought. The whole game’s theme is so novel and, at the time, so shocking that it even warns users that it might not be appropriate for some children.

'Maybe that's why I suck at this game, because I don't know how to have 'relations with a lady', either.' No, it's just hard at times (ba-dum-dum), it's not you. Was it as good as finding a porn magazine in the garage under that box? Hell no, but it did make you feel like you were playing a game for much older people than you. It was definitely forbidden fruit and a guilty pleasure. If you were a kid in 1987, this game was challenging to say the least for you to explain to your mom when she walked into your room unannounced and asked about it. Did I mention this takes place in the town of Lost Wages (Las Vegas)? Oh, ho ho. Within the first 10 minutes of playing the game, you’re telling Larry to “use toilet” where he proceeds to take a dump while reading a newspaper. Actually, that’s probably a blow-up doll. Yes, that’s Larry running and jumping trying to catch a naked female floating across the title screen. To bring the adult theme further home, take a look at the screenshots that accompany this page. Indeed, that’s the whole point of the game - you have 24 hours for Larry to get some…thing.

Larry Laffer was THE original 40 Year Old Virgin. Is it something you’d want your daughter playing? Probably not, but if you don’t take it too seriously (Sierra didn’t seem to until the revenue figures rolled in) then you can have a pretty good laugh.

Secondly, it splattered adult content onto people’s computer screens in a way never really conceived of previously: Larry provided a very healthy dose of bathroom humor and raunchy male chauvinism to a mostly sexually repressed male audience. For one, it brought a new adventure engine into the mix for Sierra's growing library of adventure games. Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards was a first of for many things for the experienced yet still blossoming Sierra, back in 1987. This “little” gem (sorry, Larry, people talk) was the first in what became a fully fledged franchise brand.
