Despite being a fan of Sierra's games when I was a kid, the LSL series was one that kind of passed me by. I had some small experiences with it and just found the whole thing off putting, so I've largely ignored it. But following along here, this game in particular sounded a lot of fun (much more than the first two).LeftHanded Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356100685489177887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-66581910630844921242015-11-04T05:59:53.075+11:002015-11-04T05:59:53.075+11:00Magic pen impossible to find?

It is not a game fault that you are not good observant. What's more you can notice different text on the board. I thought it is obvious for adventure Player to re-examine the object then.<br />If you ask me why should I enter this room I have another obvious answer for you :) At some point playing as Larry (certainly when Patti appears in the room) you can find green object. If you examine it you can find that it is a snifter filled with tips. However, you are unable to take it because as the game states they are Patti's. Well, the first thing I did after leaving her appartment was grabbing my hard-earned money.qwertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109760850797939451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-64425892014684148172013-03-24T06:57:42.785+11:002013-03-24T06:57:42.785+11:00... this was supposed to go on the comments for th...... this was supposed to go on the comments for the most recent blog post.

I discovered that I would have to divide my list into two — one for Western RPGs and one for Japanese RPGs — but I digress...<br /><br />I already did a list for a historical play through of Adventure Games, but I limited mine to only games still accessable through digital distribution services like Steam or GOG. I wish you good luck with your work, keep it up.<br /><br />I can't wait to see when you start games in the era of The Adventure Company. I consider them to be the big name in modern Adventure Games, picking up from where Sierra On-Line left off. And then there is Phoenix Online Studios, pretty much what I consider to be the spiritual successor to Sierra. When you get into contemporary games you should definitely check them out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-22963925672538337002013-03-13T05:24:22.126+11:002013-03-13T05:24:22.126+11:00LSL 5 did it also (although not as explicitly).LSL 5 did it also (although not as explicitly).Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-40626880540679830872013-03-12T18:56:24.424+11:002013-03-12T18:56:24.424+11:00Question: "What?

Why would I do that?"<br /><br />Because you can, isn't that usually enough reason to do something in an adventure games. :) Well, I also missed this when I was playing for the first time as I thought the costume had already served it's purpose.

I found this blog maybe a month ago and just spent all this time catching up with a whole slew of childhood/teenage memories playing pretty much every one of these Sierra games.<br /><br />Like everyone here, I thought I was their biggest fan. I look forward to more of your journeys back through the adventure age. <br /><br />Can safely say I learned to type by playing all these games.

Every single time it came down to walking in that room (as Larry, unfortunately, as I just remembered 'use it at the end') I repeatedly looked for and attempted to grab it. Not out of some in-game reasoning, just because I remembered it, haha.<br /><br />Also, on my replay, I realised much to my chagrin that Patti actually wore a bra. (It was somewhat difficult to realise, given it was rather pixellated, and.. well, if anyone would go without a bra, it'd probably be Patti. Given she didn't even wear the panties you gave her.)Aperamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669724908141286435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-75453170658043493212013-03-11T09:13:42.341+11:002013-03-11T09:13:42.341+11:00What a fantastic ending.
