Having the extended color palette (16 glorious colors!!!) and increased screen resolution (320x200 pixels!!!) allows the Sierra artists to really take full advantage of the hardware available at the time. SCI0 games still relied on the text parser to interact with the game world, but as soon as you start typing all character movement stops so you don’t have to time your input around a moving Larry.

Honestly the mouse is just a distraction as you really only use it to interact with the menu bar occasionally, which you can do more quickly using hot keys anyway.

Unlike its predecessor, this game uses the new SCI engine which has full mouse support. We’re all adults here … let’s crank up the raunchiness to 11 The story proceeds linearly as you buy a lottery ticket that turns out to be a winner, bumble your way onto a dating game show and win the dream cruise, end up deserted on an island and end up saving the island natives from the mad scientist there.Įarly on you’re presented with a subplot that has the KGB following you around as you’ve accidentally ended up with some microfilm the mad scientist wants (for … reasons). Eve doesn’t really know how you are or why you’re at her house and tells you to get your shit and go. You’re mowing the lawn of the woman you hooked up with at the end of that game only to find out you may have jumped the gun a bit (she wants nothing to do with you). This game starts off sort of where Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards left off. The story continues the exploits of Larry Laffer, who becomes stranded on a tropical island during an ill-fated vacation. It utilizes Sierra’s Creative Interpreter (SCI0) engine, featuring 16-color EGA graphics and a mouse-based interface for movement. Like its predecessor, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, it was developed for multiple platforms, including MS-DOS, Atari ST and Amiga. Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places) is the second game in the Leisure Suit Larry series of graphical adventure games, designed by Al Lowe and published by Sierra On-Line in 1988.
