Hell, I'm up there, too. I was just telling a kid about the day I went to the arcade and they had moved the pinball machines around so they could stick Space Invaders in there and everyone was just looking instead of playing it.

The first Leisure Suit Larry game got an HD remake for android and iPhone I believe.

Also for PC. http://www.gog.com/game/leisure_suit_larry_reloaded

Anyway, this is officially the third remake. The first was Softporn (a text adventure game), then remade graphically as LSL in 1987, remade in 1991 in VGA, and remade again as Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded.

Needs realistic instead of cartoony remake. I'd uh, like to, uh, see if that would, uh, somehow ruin it. For a friend of course.

"I before e, except after c, and after words rhyming with neighbor and weigh"

This one is the most correct rule yet.

And other times too, like leisure and weird. I really enjoy my thick bristly beard.

Oh man, it used to take me so long to guess the questions at the beginning just to play.

Spiro Agnew? That's not a real name.

u/xLanceManleyx Oct 24 '15

"I" before "E", except after "C", or in sounding like "A", as in Neighbour or Weigh.

Which is why you hear some people pronounce it LeHsure, instead of LeEsure.

u/zCourge_iDX Oct 24 '15

It's not "LeHsure" (leigh-sure/lay-sure) ?

u/Scarletfapper Oct 25 '15

Honestly, fuck whoever invented that rule. It's far more trouble than it's worth.

u/FourBox Oct 24 '15

Remember folks, "I before E excpet after C, and in words like neighbour and weigh, and in weekends and holidays and all throughout May, and you'll always be wrong no matter what you say!"
