After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is getting a remake.
The game, which successfully launched the series back in 1987, will be appearing on PC, Mac and mobiles from Replay Games. Interestingly, original creator Al Lowe is on board to supervise, marking his first involvement in a title since his retirement in 1998.
Lowe is in good spirits, and told Gamasutra he wants to corrupt the next generation of youth.”I thought I’d love to bring the games up to date and do a version that will run on mobiles and tablets, and corrupt a new generation of gamers,” he laughs.
Jokes aside, Lowe understands plenty of die-hard fans have parted with their cash to ensure the remake happens:
”We had 2500 comments on our kickstarter page, and 14,000 people have voted with their money, so we are listening to their comments. They’re our publishers now.”
“We really want to please people. And you can’t please everyone, so what we plan to do is keep many of the same puzzles and twists and things that you know from the past.”
