Leisure Suit Larry 2 | Sierra On-Line | 1988 | Who is Leisure Suit Larry? If you look up the word "nerd" in the dictionary, you're liable to find Leisure Suit Larry's picture as a definition. Leisure Suit Larry is the kind of guy you see in just about every seedy singles bar. He wears a white leisure suit with the shirt open to the waist (lots of gold chains make up for the lack of a chest). If you can get past the glow of his Grecian formula, you can see that his hairline is making a hasty retreat from his forehead. Larry is the original blind date nightmare - the kind of guy you wouldn't want your daughter to date, let alone meet. He is such a loser that Cosmo Magazine recently voted him "most negligible bachelor of the year." A Time Magazine article on "The War Between the Sexes" carried his picture with the caption "an unarmed innocent bystander." Why is Larry suddenly so popular with the ladies? On cruise ships, in laid back Los Angeles, and in other exotic locations, Larry is suddenly attracting the attention of all kinds of nubile nymphettes. He's been propositioned by a bikini'd babe at the poop-deck pool, suffered the seductions of a sadomasochistic spinster, even played "hide the onklunk" with a sexy spanish senorita. Why is it that some of the loviest ladies in the western hemisphere are so hot to get their hands on Larry - and why is he resisting their advances? Why is it that Larry has suddenly started looking for Miss "Right" (as opposed to Miss "Right-Now") and will he find her? Find out why when you play...

Loom | Lucasfilm Games | 1990 | Long after the passing of the Second Shadow, when dragons ruled the twilight sky and the stars were bright and numerous, came the Age of the Great Guilds. Blacksmiths. Shepards. Clerics. Each dedicated to the absolute control of secret knowledge. Another such Guild was the Weavers. Over the centuries, their craft transcended the limits of physical cloth, until they wove the very fabric of reality itself. Now, a strange power has swept the Weavers into oblicion, leaving behind one Weaver boy to unravel the mystery. Help young Bobbin rescue his Guild... and you might save the universe from an unspeakable catastrophe.*** [49]*** [33]*** [83]*** [62]*** [17]*** [82]***CD-ROM version [22]*** [22]*** [1]***CD-ROM version [37]*** [37]***2009-07-08 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng) - 256 color enhanced version (runs through some odd emulator that enforces 2xSAI or similar filter, too)***Fantasy adventure by LucasArts. This is one of their earlier adventure titles, and it's fairly short, but it's a fun story. You play Bobbin Threadbare, apprentice Weaver, a young man caught in the inevitable pull of destiny. The graphics use only 16-colors but are very well drawn (they're the kind that sold systems back then). The interface is simple, and the puzzles utilize the interesting concept of magic through a musical sequence. Certain actions cause magical notes to resonate through Bobbin's staff, and if he can memorize the sequence he can use it to invoke the action in another object. Some of the more ingenious puzzles also involve reversing a sequence to cause the opposite reaction. I think there should have been more throwaway animations for using the wrong sequence instead of just one generic 'wrong sequence' animation, but even without that the game is worthwhile, if short. The setting reminds me of Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea trilogy for some reason. Of special note is the fine musical score, adapted from Tschaikovsky's ballet 'Swan Lake.' | MS-DOS | labelimagesubject |
