I said, "it’s so behind the times it might as well be wearing a leisure suit!" Everyone laughed. So I reported back to Ken: there’s no way I could bring this game into the 80’s unless he let me make fun of that life style. It had no protagonist, little or no plot, almost no text, understood almost no input. Was it out of date! Its goal was to score three women during one night in Las Vegas. Since I hadn't played the game in years, I said I’d have to take a copy home and play it before deciding. Ken suggested I do an up-dated version, with "modern hi-res, 3-D" graphics, music, everything?

Leisure Suit Larry 1 (EGA) will understand many common verbs, such as look, get, read, load, pry, climb, push, play, tell, use, ask, give, take and so on.
