Sierra Adventure Games

How can anyone who is not a DEC-freak fail to remember "Leasure-Suit Larry". For obvious self- derogatory reasons this was one of my favorite games. I have V 1 for MSDOS and 1-3 for Atari ST. I don't especially like adventure games but it was indeed "special" if only for it's sense of self-depreciating humor. That's something that seems to be lost for this generation of hackers(?) who seem to think substituting "z" for "s" is some sort of statement. I have a progam somewhere for 8 bit Ataris that strung together a bunch of stills of a woman performing felatio, which I found more humorous than erotic. Also some 8- bit Demos by Michel Jarre and another even bigger German demo programmer whose name escapes me . Some of their sound-light programs are even now astounding. This was on-the-edge shit and for the most part seems to be dying (what do you do when not coding boring stuff) in favor of repeating some hi-paying sort of state propaganda shit based on GI-Joe. "Up the Empire". Blecch ! Oh well us old farts are gonna die soon and the Bill Gate's will be free to have their way. Memories are short. Lawrence On 29 Jan 2003, , Ed Tillman wrote: lgwalker@ mts.net
