Larry 6: Cut babes and beta image?

[Pac-Man]

Hi there,

I just found the following images which I've never seen before in LSL6. Maybe you can help me sorting out what is seen exactly on them.

At first there are these 2 babes which were in the Larry6 calendar which was in the original game box (recording to Al Lowe's website on http://www.allowe.com/Larry/manuals.htm at the bottom); but they don't appear in the game.


Sadly the images are pretty lowres (no there is no highres CD version of them, hahhah) and I can't read their names.
I thought the first one would be Mrs Milchlieb, but hey, according to the design documents she's overweight. And she's German (and I can say German women aren't that beautiful from my own experiences since I am German ;P). And she would sit in the dining room in the La Costa Lotta, not in front of a piano. So my guess was totally wrong.
And about the 2nd one: no idea. A cheerleader? Where should that take place? There wasn't a stadium mentioned in the whole game. But that's probably because this babe doesn't appear at all.
Maybe someone has a bigger scan of these.

And here's an image of an unknown LSL6 version. Most obviously a pre-release.

Most obviously a pre-release (at least the dialogue is final, heh). In the design documents to LSL6 is a point talking about using real Windows fonts to be drawn instead of the Sierra Adventure Game font, and the font seen here is ugly Times New Roman. Items from LSL1 VGA are seen. Plus Larry doesn't look pretty enuff yet to be ready for a final release. Not to mention all the other GUI stuff which has changed (I bet that 111 point counter was completely static in the version seen here).
Was my guess right this second time?

Thanks for any help,
Pac-Man

A lady with dark hair sitting in front of a piano... is it a modern version of Passionate Patti? She never struck me as the anorexia type.

Where did you find that lower version?

[Pac-Man]

Wow you're right, it could really be Patti! A piano and the long black hair! Plus I'd say her face is somewhat similar! And the pixels of the babes name at the lower left could indeed say "Patty", thinking about the length of that name down there!

I searched for "LSL6 calendar" (to get out the babes), but that screen was seen in an interview with Al Lowe and I found it interesting.
You can read the interview here (but nothing exact mentioned about the pic):

I remember there being some discussion about those scans a while ago, and I was able to track down a thread on the Sierra Music Central forums where someone confirms that yes, the first girl is indeed Passionate Patti:

I asked [Al] about it today and he said there were 2 girls in it they cut, the American cheerleader and another one (Patti was never in the game, she's just calendar filler).

[Pac-Man]

Ah great, thanks for the answer on that. Interesting they made a Patti rendering where it was sure from the projects start she won't be in. This is the last and most recent pic of her ever till now (and she indeed got even sexier than in LSL5!)

So the other "babe" beyond the cheerleader girl (about which not much more seems to be known) would be Frau Milchlieb (which would mean "Miss Milk-loving" ') then, as described in the design documents. She doesn't have a calendar page at all (for good reasons!):

I wonder how that would've worked out in the game - it's a completely cartoonish happening.

The toe ring was obviously replaced with the golden, molten medaillon you get from the "shocking experience" with Char - in no other scene you retrieve two things for Shamara at once, and th molten medaillon doesn't rly fit into the game at all where Larry is still wearing one after it happened (and also says in LSL7 he owns it from the beginning if I remember correctly).

What a coincidence: Trying a LSL6 demo, I noticed that there are more images with this unfinished GUI as seen in the first post.
You can download the demo here: http://www.sierrachest.com/index.php?a= ... dl&gconf=1

I've converted all those PCX images to PNG ones if you want to have a quick look on it (the demo just isn't more than a dia show):

It does seem odd that Frau Milchlieb would be one of the "woo-able" ladies in LSL6. Nearly all the women in the Larry series have (or at least appear to have) Barbie-like physiques . Were they going for a sort of Venus of Willendorf thing with Frau Milchlieb?

The toe ring was obviously replaced with the golden, molten medaillon you get from the "shocking experience" with Char - in no other scene you retrieve two things for Shamara at once, and th molten medaillon doesn't rly fit into the game at all where Larry is still wearing one after it happened (and also says in LSL7 he owns it from the beginning if I remember correctly).

I noticed a similar discrepancy in Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist where Freddy's false ear gets removed and then sharpened into a spur-like tool, yet his speech portrait continues showing him wearing the ear. In this case, though, maybe Larry has a spare medallion or two on him (the same way he has multiple leisure suits he keeps having to change into as they keep getting destroyed in LSL7).

[Pac-Man]

Yeah that's true with that mutliple leisure suits. I can forgive the game designers this problem since it happens in mostly every comic stylish tv series, comic or computer game.
