Leisure Suit Larry! That's awesome...I remember how "controversial" that game was when I was a kid.
If I remember right there was only one place in that game where your character could actually die. And it happened with the greatest command ever created

Kind of a weird setup they have, in that you start the games in "multiplayer" mode. It was really weird seeing 8 guys in Leisure suits walking around shouting "Open Door!" at eachother.
Kind of spoils the fun having the possible commands listed on the right-click menu. Half the fun of those games was trying to figure out exactly how to phrase what you wanted to do. And I agree that the multiplayer mode is very weird.
Sierra's graphical adventures defined the form in the 1980s, thanks to a band of distinctive creators experimenting with their own particular favorite pop culture influences to create parser-based (and later point-and-click) games with strong creative visions. There was Al Lowe and his luckless loser Larry, of Leisure Suit fame; Roberta Williams, creator of the King’s Quest series, among others, who seemed to strive for stories of family triumph using familiar concepts, like classic fantasy and fairy tales, as touchstones.
And then there were the Two Guys from Andromeda.
Quote:
Writer/designer Scott Murphy and artist Mark Crowe, co-creators of the Space Quest series, were an inseparable duo. Like its contemporaries, 1986's Space Quest starred a "little guy" who seemed to luck into heroism by happenstance. In this case, our hero was Roger Wilco, a lowly janitor aboard a space cruiser whose naivety led him to save the galaxy -- again and again, nearly thanklessly

Thanks to Kickstarter, the Two Guys are back working together on a new space adventure for the first time in 20 years, reconciling their differences after years of estrangement -- and loving every minute of being back together.
Huge bump here, but don't know if this needed it's own thread......
This is awesome. I loved both the Police Quest and Space Quest games. This could be the first kickstarter I get involved with....now I just need to decide which tier!
