Larry 6 featured improved video and sound, and also returned to the earlier
Sierra philosophy of "punishing" wrong moves with player death. However, the deaths
were only for humor's sake, as a "Try Again" button allowed the player to reverse the
mistake. In at least one case, however, the player could reach a dead end from which
the game could not be completed. It was also the first game to be released the next
year in a CD edition with voices, better graphics and higher resolution compared to
the floppy version. At the outset of LSL6, Larry is alone again with no explanation
of what happened to Patti. He wins a visit to a luxurious resort spa called La Costa
Lotta. He gets the worst room and worst service of all. His aim is simply to meet and
have sex with eight women. Though this always fails for a reason or another, each of
these encounters leaves him with an object he can offer to Shamara Payne, a New Age
enthusiast. (Shamara plays the "True Love" role in that winning her heart is the
ultimate goal of the game.) |
