  • The Last Two Decades Have Witnessed the Growth of Video and Computer Gaming from a Small Hobbyist Pastime to a Major Form of Entertainment
    Chris Lynskey STS 145 Case History Leisure Suit Larry The last two decades have witnessed the growth of video and computer gaming from a small hobbyist pastime to a major form of entertainment. During its integration into modern culture, gaming has necessarily adopted certain traits that are inherent in human existence, namely violence and sex. Violence has actually been an integral part of games from the very beginning, whether it was the destruction of enemy tanks or missions against invading aliens. The integration of sex into gaming though, has taken a considerably different course. Although there were several small niches of games devoted to that topic in the early 1980s, it wasn’t until the late 1980s and early 1990s that sex began to gain acceptance as a part of mainstream gaming. Perhaps the most significant catalyst to that process was the highly popular Leisure Suit Larry series produced by Sierra and developed in large by Al Lowe. The history of Leisure Suit Larry begins with that of its publishing company, Sierra On-Line. It was incorporated in 1979 by Ken and Roberta Williams in a small town near Yosemite. They decided to direct their focus to a then unexplored genre, adventure games. Although their first big success was the King’s Quest series, in the company’s early days they received national attention due to a small game written by Chuck Benton. This game was certainly a unique element of Sierra’s catalog at the time: it was the company’s only non-graphic work and their sole adult-oriented game.

  • Lurking Horror by William E
    uestBusters TM The Adventurer's Journal July, 1987 VolN,#7 Lurking Horror By William E. Carte This is not a typical Infocom game: It can't be called a mystery or science fiction and should not be confused with Moonmist, a "ghost story" in which you are really a detective. Instead, Lurking Horror introduces a new kind of story to the Infocom catalog: horror. Don't expect the kind of gorey horror typified by Halloween and other contemporary slash films, for this is literary horror along the lines of the eerie tales that formed H.P. Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos." (A computer in the game even bears Lovecraft's name.) The result is as intriguing as it is different Penned by Dave Lebling, the story you discover a mysterious message in takes place on the campus of G. U. E. all-nighter.
