Sabine Duvall, Al Lowe, Josh Mandel, and Leslie Balfour are all coming back to remake the entire series. This is spectacular. If I was more of a fan of LSL I'd totally donate.

Josh mentioned a few people...

Josh Mandel:
I'm pleased to announce that Al Lowe and I will be working together on a new project, our first since about 1994: Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards: Reloaded. A top-to-bottom reboot of the original LSL, we're working with Sierra alums Leslie Balfour, Sabine Duvall, and Paul Trowe of Replay Games. We're funding through Kickstarter


Also made a post on Larry Laffer's site.

It's utterly awesome, wish I could afford a credit card, or that they accept PayPal. I sent the link to my father as a suggested birthday present.
Wish they got Jan Rabson to do Larry's voice though...

Backed and ready to roll! So cooool!

Once I get home, I will discuss with the wife how much we will be pitching in!

That is cool!

Please pass it around other forums, twitter, and whatever other means you have!

That is absolutely awesome!!!

"Replay was founded by Sierra On-Line veterans that go way, way, way back to the original adventure games where you had to type stuff in to get your character to "look", "take", "use", and yes, "unzipper"." "Every single person on our design team is a Sierra vet from one project or another. That's how you know you're getting the real deal. Mr. Al Lowe himself is spear heading this project to make sure you get the REAL Leisure Suit Larry!!"

Also instantly my new dream employer as being a student in communication & multimedia design.

He's already at 20% of his target, at over $100,000, within 24 hours!

Larry's just passed the $500,000! It's happening!

OK, now, so two questions...

1. The KickStarter page mentions the words "When the game ships..." Am I right in assuming that, when the game is finished, it will be shipped out to game stores and I could purchase it that way? Or will it only be available through Steam or similar?

2. I watched the Al Lowe video... and he got to the part of the Sierra OnLine door, which opened into a vast, grey wasteland. I assume this is because Sierra OnLine no longer exists... sigh... I'm right, aren't I? Boy, that's depressing.

1. It will not ship to stores. The shipping is for those who supported the game and donated enough to get physical copies of the game. (From what I understand, anyway...)

That's what I gathered as well. As far as I know, no Kickstarter game has actually been sold commercially in stores. Physical copies have been sent to certain people who donated enough to get them, but otherwise, everything's been digital.
