The Leisure Suit Larry franchise has been dead for almost a decade now. The last two games weren’t really Leisure Suit Larry games at all, but monstrosities that paraded around in their skin, forcing the corpse of poor Larry to dance around and hoping grotesquely formed elephant women with weird shaped breasts would be enough to lure long time fans of the series into wasting their money. Luckily, the people over at Replay Games somehow managed to save Larry from whatever level of video game hell he was stuck in and launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to get the funds to remake the original game in the series."
Gamepressure: You know that feeling when your favorite game is getting panned by critics? So do we; that's why we've prepared a list of games that – despite mediocre reviews at launch – are adored today.
Serena Nelson writes: "Here's the thing. Despite there being so many adventure game projects, they're still a small part of crowdfunding games as a whole. It's also an incredibly niche genre compared to shooters and RPGs. Which means that unless you're asking for a fraction of what you really need chances are good that you'll end up not making it. Outside of titles like Broken Age, Dreamfall Chapters and Obduction, none have breached seven digits."
Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is well-known for being a platform to get ideas funded by fans and without the need to have a publisher breathing down their collective necks. And while it should be enough to give from the kindness of one's own heart there still needs to be a carrot dangling from the stick to make backers reach deep into their wallets. And that's where the reward tiers come into play."
Loved these games in my youth. Might have to revisit it.
Definitely have so many memories playing through the first one. Love that they have gone back and remade this one. I wonder if this may lead to future Leisure Suit Larry games being remade..
Box Office Bust was one of the worst games ever created. Hopefully this one will be better.
