Leisure Suit Larry is an adult-themed sex comedy video game series created by Al Lowe. Drawing inspiration from Softporn Adventure, the Leisure Suit Larry series centers on Larry Laffer—a middle-aged man known for his balding head, penchant for double entendre, and iconic leisure suits.[1] The stories typically focus on his unsuccessful attempts to seduce young women, portraying him as an unsuccessful pickup artist. A common link between the games are Larry's explorations of luxurious and cosmopolitan hotels, ships, beaches, resorts, and casinos.[2]
The series became notable for its blend of humor, parody, and sexual fantasy, a departure from the norm in Sierra's otherwise family-friendly catalog.[3] Under Lowe’s creative direction, the franchise launched its first six games between 1987 and 1996, becoming a cult classic. Following a hiatus, the series was revived with new installments overseen by a variety of development teams without Lowe's involvement. As of 2011, the series has sold 10 million copies.[4] Sierra co-founder Ken Williams describes Leisure Suit Larry as the company's best-known franchise.[5]
