That reminds me of the sister games, King's Quest: Nair Apparent and King's Quest: To Hair is Human

Leisure Cute Larry -- Awwwwww, look at 'im, all sittin' in his crib! Ain't he adorable? Please don't mind his attempts to flirt with the babysitter. Help the babysitter last longer than a day

Leisure Suit Carrie: Help Carrie find love and romance in Lost Wages while trying to deal with her burgeoning telekinetic powers. Is that an advertisement for a dance? That looks like fun!

Police Quest: Bond Age. Listen - just because Sonny has handcuffs - the title isn't about bondage! This is about Sonny's daughter, Jamie - Jamie Bonds.

Does Jamie take her lemonade shaken, not stirred?

King's Quest: Absence Makes the Hart Go Ponder. Oh dear -- Queen Valanice has been magicked away and turned into a hart with a penchant for philosophy. Help King Graham find his wife and break the magic spell. That's the easy bit. Then you have to contend with her metaphysical and post-existential arguments ...

Leisure Suit Larry: Escape from El Lay. This is about Larry's Spanish Cousin (who had Spanish Fly in Lost Wages), named El Lay, and the women trying to avoid his creepy pick up lines.

Oh, Lord ... After a minute or two, and re-reading "El Lay", I realised that El Lay = LA. Is that a reference to the film Escape from L.A.?

Leisure Suit Lassie -- ............no, this is not about the dog. A wee Scottish lass, having never been out of Scotland, has just arrived on her first trip abroad, and is out on her first evening in Lost Wages. Unfortunately, all the Leisure Suit Larrys in town seem drawn to her, because of her attractive Scottish accent. Help her tell them to get lost themselves.

(Hey, that might actually work! What do you think?)

Yes it is!

Hah - was gonna say if it was a dog - could be Eve's dog (seen in LSL1 to pee on you and in LSL2 when Eve commands the dog to pee on you!)

Um, that might work too. I just can't imagine a Eve's black dog in a leisure suit, chatting up the lady dogs in a dog bar.

"Baby, you must be celestial. 'Cos you make me want to howl at the moon."
"Fine, knock yourself out! Excuse me, bouncer? Kick this gentleman out, please."
"With pleasure, ma'am."

See what I mean?

Fries of the Dragon: A business simulator where you run a franchise selling super-spicy "Dragon" french fries.

Buys of the Dragon: The Dragon turns out to be a real-life beast who invests in ... [fill in the blank here.] With his hoard at his disposal, this Dragon can buy anything he wants, corner the market on it, and drive everyone else bankrupt! Mwa ha ha, etc.!

Ryes of the Dragon: Like "Fries of the Dragon", but now a bakery.

Ok - I can follow this flow.

Dyes of the Dragon. You are a dragon in search of what color you should be; you must run around and collect things to make different colors of dyes. Once you make it, you try it on and see what powers that color of dragon grants you. If you don't like it, there's components - different for each color - that you must gather to remove it! Now, young dragon, go find your destiny!

Pies of the Dragon. The expansion to "Ryes of the Dragon". Instead of just selling rye bread, the dragon now expands into other pastry products!

King's Quest: Heir Banned: Prince Alexander has been banned from the Sierra Help Pages forums! Can you help him get on the good side of the site administrators?

King's Quest VI-and-a-half: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. Oh noes -- Prince Alexander and Princess Rosella have gone bald!!! (The horror! ) Who stole their beautiful hair?!? Can you help them find it?

(Anyone here who's ever suffered from male pattern baldness (and yes, I have) will know exactly what I'm talking about)
