 Leisure Suit Larry I



 Leisure Suit Larry Walkthrough


  Good evening, Swinging Singles. It's 10 o'clock, and you're without a
 date, as usual. But here in Lost Wages, you need not be alone...not if
 you've got plenty of cash, elementary social skills, an good supply of
 breath spray, and a willingness to try anything once. As LEISURE SUIT
 LARRY, you've determined to make this the last lonely night of your
 life.

  This walkthru offers only one particular way to play LEISURE SUIT
 LARRY. There is a great deal of flexibility in the game, however, and
 the game can be completed with many fewer points than you will earn
 using this walkthru, although you may miss some very funny and
 unusual experiences.

  A few necessary conventions. First of all, the game occasionally
 requires you to perform some basic human functions. For the purposes of
 this walkthru, we'll say "USE" where another less delicate word will
 work just as well. Also, for women playing LEISURE SUIT LARRY, you're
 going to have to learn to think like a man. For the most part, that
 means forget the subtlety. In this game, outright deviousness and
 persistence gets the girl.

  Inventory control is a cinch in LEISURE SUIT LARRY. You can hold
 everything, and only rarely will the game let you drop or otherwise
 misuse something before you've used it for the correct purpose. The game
 designers have also apparently learned where elephants go to die...your
 mouth. Thus, you have a large (but not bottomless) supply of breath
 spray. You'll want to USE SPRAY whenever somebody begins to make snide
 comments regarding your oral hygiene. Never walk out into the middle of
 the street, despite their seeming desertion. And NEVER linger in a dark
 alley.

  Before you start, you'll have to take a little exam to prove your age.
 No help with this one -- you'll have to prove your age on your own. And
 you won't find the answers in any encyclopedia.

  You begin your evening in the Land of the Lounge Lizards in front of
 Lefty's, sleazy bar nonpareil. You'll find you've got (in addition to
 your breath spray) $94 in your wallet, as well as some notes and
 business cards you won't need, and credit cards (which won't work in
 this game). You've also got a working Bolex watch. This game spends a
 lot of time tipping the hat to Infocom, so you've got the requisite
 lint. OPEN DOOR and go in.

 ============================= WALKTHRU / SOLVE ===============================

  What atmosphere! Notice the fine velvet art and the refined clientele.
 I was in a place like this in Upper Sandusky, Ohio once, but that was
 decades ago, and it's a long story. SIT on the empty stool at the bar.
 You can order all the beer and wine you like, but make sure you ORDER
 WHISKEY. You're wise enough not to drink it, but around here, it's not
 tough to find somebody who will. The young lady at the bar just isn't
 very responsive (unless you pinch her), and the only other person
 talking is the guy with the ancient punchlines. So head through the
 doorway at the top of your screen.

  Somebody's left a perfectly good rose sitting on the table. Might be a
 perfect gift for a lady (if you can find one), so pedal over and take
 it. TALK TO THE DRUNK, but watch where you step: too near his groin and
 he gets crotchety. Perhaps doing a good deed might get you one in
 return, so GIVE THE WHISKEY TO THE DRUNK. In boozy, sodden gratitude,
 he'll give you a remote control. That's all you'll get out of him, so
 head for the bathroom to the right.

  Now, this is quite obviously not the men's room, for a couple reasons,
 but you wouldn't know it from reading the walls. EXAMINE them enough
 times and you'll get a cryptic "password." Remember it. And as long as
 you're there, USE THE TOILET. No doubt some of Larry's best thinking
 gets done that way. When you're done, don't flush the toilet unless
 you've saved the game first.

  EXAMINE THE SINK, too. More evidence that this is the ladies' room (or
 perhaps it's co-ed). TAKE THE RING, and wash your hands if you like, for
 all the good it will do you. You'll probably need to WIPE HANDS on
 something since there's nothing here that's "sanitized for your
 protection." Leave the bathroom and head for that lovely red naugahyde
 door in the bar. KNOCK ON THE DOOR and somebody peers out at you. Give
 him the password and go on in.

  Friendly looking fellow. He's guarding the goods upstairs, but he can
 be distracted. Since you can't turn on the television by hand, you'll
 need to USE REMOTE CONTROL to turn it on, and if you hunt long enough
 for a program that appeals to the pimp's intellectual instincts, you'll
 surely find one. Once a program's caught his eye, you can wend your way
 upstairs.

  Just LOOK at her. She IS a mess, isn't she? Think carefully about this!
 Remember, it's the Eighties, and going unprotected in this situation can
 (and is!) deadly. We don't want your first time to be your last, so
 let's go get some protection. Before leaving, you might want to grab
 that box that's sitting on the table by the window. It's as easy as
 taking candy from a bimbo. OPEN THE WINDOW and climb out. You can leave
 the old-fashioned way, too, but this way's shorter and will net you an
 important tool.

  Once you're on the fire escape, notice that little object in the other
 window. You won't be able to get it till much later, though, so don't
 worry about it. Walk to the left end of the fire escape, and you'll find
 the shortcut to the ground floor. And while you're sitting in that bin,
 reflect on all the wonderful, useful things non-playing characters tend
 to throw out in adventure games...rotten cloves of garlic, bones,
 notebooks, and so on. So EXAMINE GARBAGE and take what you find. EXIT
 the bin and walk to the cab stand in front of the bar.

  There are three marked cab stands in LEISURE SUIT LARRY, but you can
 call a cab from any screen. The cabby is impatient, so try to position
 yourself in the center of the screen, right by the curb, when you CALL
 CAB. ENTER CAB and you're on your way. TALK TO THE CABBY and he'll give
 you the rundown on Lost Wages hot spots. At the moment, you want to hit
 the Convenience Store, so tell the cabby. When you arrive, PAY CABBY.
 For a startling bit of realism, remember to TIP CABBY as well.

  Go straight into the store -- don't stop to talk with questionable
 characters. Besides, you don't have what he wants...yet. In the store,
 the first thing that'll probably catch your eye is the magazine rack.
 TAKE a magazine, and be sure to READ it. It's a well-disguised clue.

 Then wander over to the back aisle of the store, on the left, and LOOK
 AT THE SHELF. That wine is a worthwhile investment (vintage pending). At
 last, you may nonchalantly wander over to the counter and discreetly ASK
 CLERK ABOUT CONDOM. It's like trying to order a burger in some fast food
 joints you've visited.

  This clerk is used to shady characters like yourself, so don't try to
 leave without paying. Once you're back outside, the sailor will accost
 you again. When he asks you for spare change, type GIVE CHANGE TO BUM
 and the program will tell you that you don't have any. Wait a second,
 and he'll hit you up for wine. G'wan, be a sport. Hand over that Mad Dog
 20/20, and you'll get some advice (and a useful souvenir). Remember that
 advice; this guy's obviously been around.

  Before you head back to Lefty's, EXAMINE THE PHONE on the sidewalk. Jot
 down that number. Maybe it'll lead to a meaningful relationship. Call
 now, before midnight tonight. DIAL PHONE and give it your best shot.
 Good thing you're used to rejection.

  Just for the heck of it, walk off to the right, to the next screen. The
 disco looks like a potential "meet market," but you'll find you're not
 up to their standards. At the moment, anyway. So call a cab -- there's
 nowhere else around here to go.

  But after all, the night is still young. Let's drop by that Casino the
 driver mentioned before going back to Lefty's. When you get out of the
 cab, there may be a gentleman decked out in a pickle barrel. He may not
 show up till later, but at any rate, you're well-heeled enough to
 purchase one of his apples. So do it. Then go on into the Casino.

  SIT at the Blackjack table or PLAY SLOTS, whichever's your speed.
 Either way, you're going to want to break the bank here. The odds are
 much more favorable at the BLACKJACK table, if you know how to play
 (This is a great time to learn!), but the payoffs are greater at SLOTS.
 You need to use the SAVE function often here. SAVE the game right before
 you make your first bet, and name the save after the amount of money you
 have.
  Then keep playing, and SAVE the game each time your total funds
 exceed the amount you had in the last saved game. For easy reference,
 keep changing the name of the save to reflect your total cash. The game
 will end when you hit $250.

  Now head "north," to the top of your screen, into the adjoining room.
 You've got no pride, Larry, you're a desperate man. So dig around in the
 ashtray. You'll find the all-important Disco Pass. Take it and head into
 the Cabaret to the right. Sorry, Uncle Lar', no foxes cruising here.
 Perhaps if you wait a bit. Take a seat at the bottom right-hand table.
 Sitting on the comic's whoopee cushion's worth a point. The comic may be
 performing, or perhaps it's the chorus line, but either way, nobody
 shows up, so don't linger. Leave the casino, call a cab, and head for
 the Disco.

  When the bouncer gets in your way, SHOW PASS to him, and he'll let you
 through. Once upstairs, you spot her...the woman of your dreams! She's
 sitting all alone. Stop licking your chops, get over there and sit with
 her. LOOK at her. What's the gentlemanly thing to do? ASK HER TO DANCE.
 Hurry out onto the dance floor and do your stuff. John Travolta, eat
 your heart out (actually, this number seems to owe a bit to the Disco
 scene in AIRPLANE).

  Go back to the table when the dance is over and SIT again. LOOK at her
 again and TALK. Be persistent. Keep TALKing, and eventually you'll find
 some common ground. Wish it were that easy in real life!

  Fawn is a 100% Certified Golddigger, but you found all these nifty
 presents at Lefty's, so it's not really costing you anything. GIVE her
 the rose (or the candy, or the ring...the order doesn't matter). Oooh, I
 just LOVE shallow women! Actually, the hooker's shallow, too, but Fawn
 is blonde. Give FAWN another present. She still doesn't seem too turned
 on, so go for broke. Give her the last present.

  Well, it looks like you're going have to do some serious forking over
 if you want this relationship to work. And you're going to have to make
 a lifetime commitment. Well, you're only playing a game; and no guts, no
 glory. Besides, you can afford it. So give Fawn what she wants. Don't
 worry, she's not going to run off: She really IS going to rent the
 Honeymoon Suite for the two of you. Leave the Disco and take a cab to
 the Chapel.

  Once you're outside the Chapel, you may notice a quiet, unassuming
 gentleman lurking by the cab stand. Just for giggles, go over to him.
 Hmmm. At least he doesn't want to sell you anything. TALK to him for a
 point.

  Now go into the Chapel, and take that last long walk down the aisle.
 Look around all you like, but they're waiting for you to MARRY FAWN. She
 likes to build up the anticipation, doesn't she? Too bad you're not
 carrying around "No Tease." Leave the chapel and head left to the
 Casino.

  Enter the Casino, go straight back to the Great Glass Elevator. PRESS
 FOUR. The Honeymoon Suite is the room with the heart on. Knock on the
 door, and Fawn will let you in. But first, a little mood music. Turn on
 the radio. Unfortunately, the commercial (remember the phone number)
 gives Fawn an idea, and you'll have to make a little trip before you
 consummate the relationship.

  Go back down to the first floor (PRESS ONE). There's a phone, but
 somebody's gummed up the works. At this point, check your finances;
 you're probably down to just a few bucks. You're going to need about $40
 for the next bit, so stop at the Casino and build up your cash supply to
 $40 or $50, but don't bother with more than that yet.

  There's one phone that works, and that's the one outside the
 Convenience Store. So take a cab back there. Be sure to ANSWER THE
 PHONE. What goes around comes around, right? ╒Note:  Also call
 Sierra On-Line for another five points.σ

  Call Ajax Liquors and order WINE. When they ask where you want to have
 it delivered to, be specific: HONEYMOON SUITE AT THE CASINO HOTEL. If
 you just say Casino Hotel, it won't get there. And whatever you do,
 don't even THINK about getting the wine yourself at the Convenience
 Store. Try it if you like, but save the game first, and get ready for a
 hairy ride back to the Casino.

  Head back to the Casino, and go back up to the Honeymoon Suite. Fawn
 will want you to pour the wine, first...and now comes the big payoff.
 Get undressed, or kiss her, or whatever you care to.

  Sorry, Larry, I guess it's just not your night. The woman of your
 dreams turned out to be a nightmare. Fortunately, you're not too stuck.
 You got some great advice from the bum outside the Convenience Store. So
 USE KNIFE and TAKE ROPE. Then go downstairs, and using the same
 technique as before, build your finances back up to at least $45.

  Larry, maybe you're better off sticking to a sure thing. After you've
 got some bucks again, take a cab back to Lefty's. You're going to lose
 your District Three Virgin's Card if it's the last thing you do. Again,
 knock on the naugahyde door, give the password (the pimp remains
 transfixed in front of the television...just look at those glazed eyes),
 and head upstairs. Go around to the front of the bed and UNDRESS. Now,
 USE THE CONDOM. SAVE GAME just in case. And now, Larry, you're not going
 to be the same "Larry" anymore. Find a verb you're comfortable with and
 go to it. Pick a traditional action, though -- a kinky one may end the
 game quickly.

  A little anti-climactic, eh, Larry? (rim shot) One more thing, before
 you leave her with that glow of apathy, be sure to REMOVE CONDOM.
 Otherwise the cops'll getcha for indecent exposure. Why don't they go
 bother the guy outside the Chapel instead?

  Exit via the window, but don't go to the left yet. You're now equipped
 to get the pills in the other window, thanks to the hint in "Jugs"
 magazine. Go to the right end of the fire escape and TIE ROPE TO
 RAILING. Then TIE ROPE TO ME. GET PILLS. You'll have to open that window
 somehow. Check your inventory. One of the few unused articles is ideal
 for breaking and entering. BREAK WINDOW WITH HAMMER. Now GET PILLS.
 Examine them. That thing after the "F" isn't a one, by the way.

  To get down, you'll have to GO TO FIRE ESCAPE and UNTIE ROPE. Now you
 can take the express to the dumpster and EXIT it again. Go out front.

  Where haven't we looked for female companionship? Well, the casino
 hotel's got eight floors. Maybe we can scare up a date there. Take a cab
 to the casino, get in the elevator, and start knocking on doors.

  Eventually, you'll find yourself up on the eighth floor, the penthouse.
 There's a beautiful brunette sitting by herself at the desk. (Aren't
 there any REDHEADS in this game?) Be sure to check her out carefully, so
 you know what you're getting into, and turn on the charm. TALK to her
 (and again, you'll have to be persistent if you want to learn about
 her). At some point, she'll stop being communicative and the program
 will urge you to find a medical stimulant.

  By now, you should have figured out that the pills are Spanish Fly.
 Give them to Faith. Maybe this is what you've been waiting for, Larry.
 But as it turns out, Faith has incredible will power, so it's not to be.
 But now that she's gone, check out her desk. Once you've noticed the
 button, you'll want to do the obvious.

  That means PUSH BUTTON, Larry. Geez, some people....

  Go into that elevator. You emerge in the penthouse, tastefully
 decorated with Mark Crowe's finest efforts. Before you go hunting for
 the gurgling sound, go back and to the right around the partition.
 You'll find yourself in the bedroom. Open the closet door and go inside.
 The screen won't change, but LOOK while you're in there, and TAKE
 anything that looks interesting -- that inflatable love doll, for
 example.

  "I'm gonna buy a rubber doll that I can call my own...." EXAMINE it.
 It's doubtful that you'll find a meaningful relationship with Olga (I'm
 just guessing that's her name), but you'll never know unless you try.
 BLOW UP DOLL. And there she is, in all her vinyl splendor. Time once
 again to explore nature's glorious mysteries, so USE DOLL (or whatever).

 The machine will balk at the idea, but answer YES to the question.

  Well, Larry, perhaps you should have been gentler. Follow Olga out to
 the terrace.
