The Perils of Laura

After one of the museum fountains displays a curious image of a castle that Laura investigates a little too closely, she finds herself whisked off to the Realm of Eldritch and meets Rosella, Edgar’s future bride. Unfortunately, the cloaked, mace wielding killer follows her, and now our heroes must deliberately lure the murderer into Eldritch’s many traps. Win the game by:

- Having him get too close to the swamp plants
- Make him pursue you over Benjamin Crabby’s grave
- Force him into the giant spider’s web
- Get Lady Tsepish to show him her face (“Nice black cloak! I’ll lower my hood if you lower yours )
- Load up on fresh water and lead him way out into the desert
- Equip your slingshot with more silver and let ‘er rip
- And many, many more!

Leisure Suit Lorry. Larry becomes a truck driver and trundles around the USA, delivering stuff and looking for love, fun, and staying-awake drugs.

Would that be Leisure Suit Lorry II then?
Because you mentioned Leisure Suit Lorry before in this thread.

So how about...

Leisure Suit Lori: Quest for Help. You are Lori Cole, working on Hero-U when a freak lightning strike hits your house and traps you inside Leisure Suit Larry 1! Now you have to convince Larry Laffer not to hit on you and that you're not a part of the game to escape!

Whoops! Ah, well -- it's a good idea.

Leisure Suit Glory. Ack! The hero's "Mystic Magnets" teleport him into Lost Wages, and he has to find a way back! Meanwhile, Larry is teleported into Silmaria, and is now the new king. But instead of ruling, he goes around flirting with anything in a dress (or pants, in the case of Nawar and Budar).

The next thing he knows, he wakes up outside the gate of the Hall of Kings, and:

- tied up (a feeling not unfamiliar to him),
- naked (a feeling not unfamiliar to him), and
- with a paper crown on his head that says "Return to Sender" (a feeling not unfamiliar to -- ah, forget it).

Can you help Larry find his leisure suit, now lost somewhere in the island of Silmaria? And just to make things a bit less PG-rated, Pholus the blacksmith gives Larry a "courtesy loaner" (i.e. a suit of leather armour), 'cos Silmaria a bad place to be caught naked in.

Meanwhile, the hero of Silmaria found Caesar's Palace, and is trying desperately to find the Sultan's Palace so he can find Aziza and convince her to send him back to Silmaria ...

Yup, it's two bad remakes for the price of one! (Sorry)

Police Quest: Urine Trouble. It was supposed to be a laid back vacation in Los Angeles, visiting the stars - instead - Larry Laffer peed in an alleyway and was spotted by Marie - and then Sonny saw it too! Now Sonny must track down Larry Laffer for indecent exposure!

I take it that happens in LA even though it's illegal, right? For what it's worth, it happens here in Melbourne, too ... yuck. At least Larry doesn't do a number-two (in public, anyway ... yuck).

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lager Louts. Everyone in town is drunk, everyone is aggressive, and everyone is out to 'get' Larry, even the folks who don't lurk in dark alleys! Can you help him avoid trouble?

The Lager of Amon Ra: Another business simulation game where the Egyptian God starts a craft brewery.

Cold Rush! This game has it all! You're a human suffering from a cold - and taken the "Night Time Sleepy Medicine" - but the problem is - you're at work! Now you need to interact with items around the office to keep you awake! Be careful, interact with the wrong items - or the same item too many times - and you will get bored and fall asleep! Can you beat the Cold Rush!

The (Pete) Seeger of Amon Ra. A game with mixed messages about international nuclear disarmament, civil rights, workers' rights, and environmental causes.

PC's Quest for Wires: Ready for some fun? You're an IT Technician building the ultimate computer! But as the timer goes by - the computing power increases - and you need video cards, memory, CPUs, and wires to keep this thing up to date! Create your virtual awesome computer in PC's Quest For Wires!

Bling's Quest. Help King Graham get the best bling and become a rapper! Yo, yo, yo, he's playing with his yo-yo.

That would be Bling's Quest II, due to there already being a Bling's Quest!

Chase Quest I: The Carry On Encounter. You're a baby sitter taking care of a new kid - when someone steals your bag of diapers! Now you need to follow a series of clues to track them down!

Yeah, but that was 12 pages and 18 months ago. You can't blame me for forgetting, right?

What is Chase Quest a parody of? I'm confused.

Police Quest: S.W.A.T. Sonny and friends go to a chicken restaurant and close the day with a S.W.A.T. The Newbie asks what S.W.A.T. stands for, and they tell him: "Sealed With A Tender".

Chase Quest 1 = Space Quest 1
The Carry On Encounter = The Sarien Encounter

Whoops! *blush* Thanks, Tawm.
