Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places) (also marketed as “Leisure Suit Larry 2”)

This game sucks. I’ll admit that the leap in tech between this and the previous title is tangible, but it’s still tech that’s thirty years out of date and working in service of an aggressively unlikable game. This is just as linear as the last game but with more open areas, meaning you’ll spend twice as long trying to figure out what to do before giving up and consulting a walkthrough. It even messes up the tone of the series, being more of a straight-forward adventure than the character’s usual loose excuse plot. Have I mentioned the anti-piracy measures suck?
