''Leisure Suit Larry'' is an adult-themed video game series created by Al Lowe. It was published by Sierra from 1987 to 2009, then by Codemasters from 2009. The games follow Larry Laffer, a balding, double entendre-speaking, leisure suit-wearing man in his 40s. The game play revolves around him attempting, usually unsuccessfully, to seduce attractive women. ==Series== The series had its origins in Sierra's earlier ''Softporn Adventure'', a 1981 text adventure created by designer Chuck Benton;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Al Lowe Downloads game history )〕 the story and basic structure from that game were reused for the first "Larry" game. The "Larry" games were one of Sierra's most popular game series during the genre's heyday, when it was first released in the mid-1980s. The series contains the only games produced by Sierra that contain significant sexual themes. In general, the games follow the escapades of Larry Laffer as he attempts to convince a variety of nubile women to sleep with him. A common link between the games are Larry's explorations of luxurious and cosmopolitan hotels, ships, beaches, resorts, and casinos. The character of Larry Laffer was voiced by Jan Rabson. After the first game, the seriesdespite becoming known for its lewd contentgained a reputation for not featuring as much sexual material as expected; this was particularly true of the middle games in the series, which were released at the same time as more explicit games, like ''Cobra Mission''. At most, the raunchier moments were usually hidden as Easter eggs. Things became racier again toward the end of the series, particularly in the (original) final installment, ''Love for Sail!'' ''Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude'', a spin-off version of the series, featured a different protagonist and style of game play. It was developed by High Voltage Software and released by Sierra in 2004. In 2007, Vivendi Universal Games announced a mobile remake of ''Love for Sail!'' In 2008, Sierra Entertainment announced plans to release ''Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust''. It was developed by Team 17, and the publishing rights were offered to Codemasters, who published the game in 2009. Larry Lovage, the protagonist of ''Magna Cum Laude'' and ''Box Office Bust'', was voiced by Tim Dadabo. In June 2011, Replay Games announced on their blog that they had acquired a license for the ''Leisure Suit Larry'' series. Replay Games planned to re-release the titles it licensed. It was also announced that the series' creator, Al Lowe, would be involved with the development of the new releases. In April 2012, Replay Games initiated a Kickstarter project〔("Make Leisure Suit Larry come again!" )〕 that finished funding on May 2, 2012 and secured a total of $674,598, for which the developers promised to add more story, additional dialogue, and one more character.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Make Leisure Suit Larry come again! – Kickstarter )〕 The "HD" game, titled ''Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded'' was originally announced to be released in late 2012, but it was delayed to mid-2013. In April 2013, Lowe said that early development had begun on a remake of ''Larry 2''; Josh Mandel later confirmed the game's early development in a Kickstarter update. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leisure Suit Larry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
