Hello everyone, friends, today we will remember one of the best games about Larry Laffer. For many of us, Larry is known for trying to seduce women in every game and most of the time he fails. For this article, I interviewed Al Lowe, character author and creator of a huge number of games. Apart from that, I also interviewed composer Mark Seibert, he has worked for Sierra since 1987 and has recorded almost all the music for the games of this company.

In addition, a system of points was added to the game, some actions can lead to a decrease in their number, which will make the ending incomplete. There was also an opportunity to speak commands or write them: for example, if you write "break [object]", then Larry will try to do it. Thanks for watching. Friends, I have a telegram channel where you can ask questions or ask to write an article on the game, and I will pass these questions on to the developers.
