A world away from the laborious point 'n' click adventures of yore, while there are nods to the (thankfully) defunct genre, there is no need to combine a spatchcock with musk of elderberry in order to make progress. Like uncle, like nephew then, but thankfully this is where the similarities end. Scientifically a dwarf, and lumbered with an outsized head and distinctive taste in leisurewear, poor Larry doesn't have much luck with the ladies. Having just started at Community College, Larry Junior has only one thing on his mind (and it's not getting a trench coat or joining a real ale society). So what is Larry doing back, and how come he's at college? Fear not, this is a different Larry, one Mr Lovage no less, nephew of the original Larry Laffer. With its genesis in 1981 's text-based Soft Pom Adventure, the polyester-clad would-be lothario made his full debut in 1987's In The Land Of The Lounge Lizards, spawning a further half dozen spurious instalments, with a final barrel-scraping compilation disgracing the shelves as recently as 1999. They don't cum much older than Leisure Suit Larry, the franchise that the majority of seasoned gamers hoped had been consigned to the anals of history. Old games don't die they just get a nextgeneration makeover.
