Matt Chat 50 Part 1: Leisure Suit Larry featuring Al Lowe

In my 50th episode, I interview Al Lowe, creator of Leisure Suit Larry. In part one, Al talks about the inspiration for Larry Laffer and the public's reception to his game. Who knew that women enjoyed Larry as much as men, or that Radioshack kept the game off their shelves?

Ah, great choice for the 50th episode! Lot's of fun in this series.

Very creative intro! Congrats on your 50th episode! I remember back in the day, when "soft porn" programs existed for the Commodore 64. And we thought the graphis were great. To what computers did leisure suit larry go to? I wonder if this could be "remaked" today? Just happened to remember that "Fear Effect" for the PS1 was kinda racy. Keep up the good work Matt!

How do you get these people to talk to these people? Did you go to Al Lowe website and ask him? I still have LSL greatest hits and misses on CD that I play in DosBox. When you were a kid at your buddies house did you have to answer the trivia questions or did you know how to bypass them (ALT-X)?

LSL was my first PC game ever (I was around 13) and it was so much fun. Al is totally right about the reason us girls/women liked it. :)
