I think my favorite LL Game has to be the one with Larry and Passionate Patty where you can play as both of them and in the end Larry is sitting in a lawn chair on his baloncy coding LL 1 (I believe you find some way into the real world where Larry doesn’t exist and he gets rich making games about himself lol)

You can still type when dead. A lot of fun can be had writhing near the janitor’s closest after being gunned down by a Sarien, screaming for help…

This… has… got… to… be… the most impressive/hilarious idea I’ve seen in gaming world this year. Shame that my arrow keys enter erroneous characters into the parser, and backspace goes back one screen so it’s not exactly playable.

Awesome nevertheless. I’m speechless.

We played a forum version of something like this a while back. The guy who starts the story does some quick artwork and the responses, and everyone else submits the commands.

Wow that is unbelievable the amount of effort the guy went to making all those pictures and doing everyones commands. I wanna play.

I find the LSL one most interesting because they actually planned a Larry MMO way back in the day.

This makes me hope they have that Space Quest (was it 3?) where if you didn’t pick up the whatsamacallit at the beginning you didn’t know you could ever not finish the game since you didn’t need the whosamajigger until you were at the end and you got to replay the whole thing from wherever your earliest save was.

I’d just stand right by that doololly all day and remind people to pick it up. That was one of my angriest gaming memories ever and I would love to save others of that exasperating “Seriously?” moment. Other than that, I still love you Sierra. Even you, Urban Runner…

My first box only had CGA. I was grateful for those 4 colors, I tells ya. Now get off my propertah!
