The Missing Floppies

[Pikachu14]

There's a gap in the Larry series, and another one just as big in Larry's memory.

I was wondering if it would be feasable to use SCI Studio (preferably VGA) to fill this gap, SpaceQuest:TLC style.

I'd build the game myself, but if anybody wants to write the backstory, be my guest!

Things to keep in mind:
- Larry and Patti should start at Roberta's cottage (Coarsegold?)
- Julius Bigg (from LSL5) should play an important role
- Larry should end up at PornProdCorp and Patti at the Piano Pit.
The rest is up to you.

Don't forget the fact that there must be an accident where Larry loses his memory!!!

[Pikachu14]

That's because Julius wipes out the game in the end.

I can see it now: pwetty 256 color graphics, and in the end - *BEEP* and a faked C:\> prompt.

Hehehe. Hehehe. Hehehe. Hehehe. That's funny. If you want, I can help writing the story, but I don't know about the details (like Larry losing his memory?).

Simply put, because the game gets wiped by Bigg, Larry has no memory of the events described therein. It's a video game hero quirk.

And please, be my guest!

Thanks.
Ok, I'll ask Al Lowe if he remembers part of the story (that'll even put more Larry-feel to it) and do some research on that Biggs-character first (don't remember him, it's been far too long since I played LSL.)

I'll let you guys know what I've got after that, so you can tell what has to be in it and what doesn't.

I don't know where you are, but if you're REALLY gonna see Al, tell him I said "Hi".

[Allen]

Hey, I'm all for it! If you want I can help with views and some of the scripting.

[Pikachu14]

All help is accepted, but we haven't even started yet.

is a great help for finding a way to contact him (I'm not going to travel half the world while there's school tomorrow  .) Just a mail will do the trick.
Btw: Check out that site, it's great!

F*ck, I should've known, had too many diet cokes.

Been there, done that, laughed my fuzzy butt off.

[Kon-Tiki]

Ok, mailed him. While waiting for him to reply, I'll go play LSL5 (while I'm not working on 'Piraatje', that is.) Let's hope he can help some way or another.

Wasn't Larry 4 a (pre) internet adventure game? SCI was converted to be ready for multiple players, but it all fell over when Sierra realized that thousands of people playing over their phone lines wouldn't be fesable (sp?) and abandoned Larry 4.

An internet SCI game (like Everquest or something) would kick ass!

[Allen]

Yes, but it was never released.

After that internet thing, LSL5 was going to still be LSL4. Then Al decided as a joke to call it LSL5 (more info on his site).

I think it's neat how there's no LSL4, so maybe you could make something in between other LSL games, like LSL1.5 or LSL5.5? You don't have to, I just think it would be cooler. BTW, there's an LSL: Missing Floppies being developed by someone with AGS.
