Anyway, once you get through all of this, and have a brief, illicit tryst with a blow-up doll, you end up meeting Eve, an attractive woman in a Jacuzzi. Of course, the game also never tells you what this bottle is or why you need to get it – it just falls into the “pick up everything that isn’t nailed down” philosophy that tends to permeate so many adventure games. (Don’t use it on yourself, or you’ll get arrested for bestiality (!!), which is thankfully not shown on screen.) This bottle is clearly visible at the beginning of the game, but can only be obtained by using the rope you (hopefully) grabbed after your encounter with Fawn. To do this, you need to distract the woman guarding the entrance by giving her a bottle of Spanish fly. The game never tells you this, but your ultimate goal is to somehow make it into the penthouse at the top of the hotel. The most awkward is forgetting to grab the ribbon that you get tied up with after hooking up with Fawn – you need it for later, and the hotel room becomes inaccessible after you leave it. Since most of the game world can be accessed at any time, there are only a few other unwinnable situations you can find yourself in – most importantly, running out cash and getting stranded. This is one of the only big sticking spots. Things don’t quite work out when she ties Larry to their marital bed before consummating their relationship, steals his money, and takes off. convincing her to sleep with you) requires a whole bunch of gifts, the cash for a quickie wedding, and the wine to get her in the mood. Otherwise, the only visibly available girl to woo is a pretty young blonde named Fawn at the disco, but winning her heart (i.e. In both versions, if you forget to take off the condom and wander outside, you’ll get arrested for public indecency – by someone who looks like Sonny Bonds from Police Quest, no less. In the original EGA version, your crotch starts to glow and then you fall over in the VGA remake, your balls simply explode. There is technically a hooker right at the beginning, but (A) if you choose to proceed with her, Larry comes to the conclusion that it doesn’t really count if you pay them, and (B) if you neglected to go to the convenience store and buy a “lubber” (condom), you’ll almost immediately perish from an STD. Thankfully, it’s easy to beat these segments by saving, betting the maximum amount, and then reloading until you win. (You need vast quantities of cash for other activities, too.) One supposes that simple blackjack and slots simulators were viewed as being “value added bonuses” to the core game but it really just slows down the pace of the adventure. Traveling costs money, of course, which can only be obtained by gambling at the casino. The only way to travel from place to place is by hailing a taxi otherwise you’ll get squashed by traffic or beaten to death by vagrants. Your adventures in Lost Wages revolve around five key areas: Lefty’s Bar, the chapel next door, the hotel casino, a discotheque, and a convenience store. But it’s easy enough to find the answers in FAQs, or just skip the sequence totally with Alt-X. Of course, this mostly revolves around American trivia from the ’70s, so a lot of it is pretty outdated. Kind of dark, that!īefore you can even get started, though, you need to answer five questions to prove that you’re over 18. There’s a clock in the game that runs in real time – if you take too long, Larry blows his brains out. The first Leisure Suit Larry begins in the city of Lost Wages, outside of a shifty bar, with only one goal in mind – to help Larry lose his virginity before the night is over.
