Leisure Suit Larry 3
====================
He's back. Again. First he made a rebound in Larry 2, and
now he's appeared again in Larry 3. We already know that his
other two games were far from brilliant, but how does this
one look? Well, not as bad as the other two, but definitely
not as good as Monkey Island. It's OK, I suppose.
The third game in the Larry series has got a completely new
look, much better graphics are there for you to look at and
the puzzles have got a touch better. Anyway, on loading the
game you are presented with questions which you much answer.
Getting them all right will allow you to play on the
"Dirtiest" level, getting none right will mean you have to
load the game again. Anyway, on with the plot.
Larry has lost his job and his wife has left him. And guess
what he's got to do now? Go and find another wife. So off he
goes to the island of Nontonnyt (who the hell made up that
name?) trying to find a new woman.
This game is controlled in the "point and click" style used
by Monkey Island, although it is also necessary for you to
type in commands at some points.
The graphics are better, as said, but the game is so slow
you've got time to make a cup of tea while you wait for
Larry to walk across the screen. There is also the disk
swapping for you to get used to. If you don't own a hard
drive or the like, you'll be required to swap between four
disks almost continuously. Maybe the game would be better if
it wasn't so slow. But, if you can bear this, the game's
alright.
