INTRODUCTION
To: Larry Lovage
Scruemall Hall
Walnut Log Community College
Hello, Nephew! This is your uncle Larry; Larry Laffer. Remember me?
You used to love hearing all about my romantic exploits back in the
’80s and ’90s.
When I heard you were going to college, I just had to write. You’re
coming of age, my boy, and I’m just the guy to give you a few pointers
on life—and on making it with the babes.
In fact, I think they should let me teach at that college. I could give a course in
Chickology— how to get chicks. Of course, I’d always grade on the curve...
I hear that hot dating show Swingles is on campus looking for contestants. This is the
perfect chance to prove yourself! If you can show them you’re a real swinger, they’ll have
to let you on the show. And that means more and better chances to score.
So look out, all you foxy chicks—Leisure Suit Larry is steppin’ out again!
Uncle Larry
The Lar ry Legacy
Nephew, it’s up to you to carry on the Leisure Suit Larry™ tradition. Sure, it’s a whole new
world out there, but it also includes lots of traditional ways to pay homage to your Uncle
Larry. So get in there, boy, and make me proud!
Scoring With Babes
There are lots of reasons for going to college: girls, booze, chicks, wild parties, babes,
streaking, girls...did I mention girls?
I realize this is virgin territory for you, but get out there and start exploring. Eventually
you’ll meet some gorgeous babes you’ll definitely want to know better.
You’ll get your chance to impress them by engaging in witty conversation, and doing them
favors—which usually involves some “game playing,” if you know what I mean. They’ll
expect you to perform some task or deliver some hard-to-get item to prove your devotion.
You don’t have to do it all at once. You can talk to a girl, maybe play a game with her, then
go off and do something else for a while and meet up with her again later. Take it from
your Uncle Larry: sometimes it helps to play it cool.
4
™
Taking Things to the Next Level
After you’ve impressed a girl enough times with talk and action, she’ll be
ready to get to know you a bit more “intimately.” Good luck!
Oh, once in a while you might end up in a pretty ticklish situation.
But even if it doesn’t work out exactly as planned, she’s likely to leave
you a little token of her affection—an intimate article of clothing or a
personal item—to remember her by.
Each time you collect tokens of affection from two new girls, you can
go to the Swingles set and complete a challenge to advance to the next
level.
New levels offer more activities and open up more areas to explore—and
best of all, reveal more hot babes to pursue! Sometimes girls who would
barely talk to you before are now ready to be much friendlier.
Collect enough tokens of affection, and you’ll reach the highest level of stud-dom and
finally get to be a Swingles contestant—with a chance to make it with one of the three
hottest girls on campus. This is where all your hard work finally pays off, big time!
WANDER MODE
There are two basic ways to behave in the world. There’s
Wander Mode, where you explore everything your world
has to offer. And there’s Game Mode, where you concentrate on performing a specific task—whether it’s executing
a successful cross-campus streak, or getting through a
semi-intelligent conversation with a buxom babe.
One world, two different ways to experience it—who
says we Larrys aren’t profound? I’d say we’re pretty
“broadminded.”
Feeling Your Way Aro u n d
If you’re going to make it in the world, you need to know all the right moves. There’s plenty
to see. You can examine lots of cool stuff, and engage in conversation with just about
anyone on campus. And to help get you started, I’ll stop by from time to time to give you
pointers.
5
™
By the way, I know it’s a tough skill to learn, but apparently chicks dig a guy who knows
how to listen. So go ahead and eavesdrop on the people around you. They might give you
ideas for useful or valuable things to do.
L a r r y ’ s Patented Mov e s
❸ Use the arrow keys to move (or the W, A, S, and D keys).
❸ Use the left shift key to toggle between walking and running.
❸ Move your mouse to change your perspective, or the 4, 5, 6, and 8 keys on your
numeric keypad.
❸ Press C to toggle to and from first-person perspective.
When you approach a person or object you can interact
with, the name of the person or object will appear.
When the Examine icon appears, press
Spacebar or the right mouse button to
examine the person or item.
When an Activate icon appears, you can either
press Enter or the left mouse button to activate
the person or item.
It’s also worthwhile to press Enter on named objects even if the Activate icon doesn’t
appear—you never know what you might discover!
Th e r e are various types of Activate icons:
The Speech icon means you can talk with this person.
The Lips icon means you can interact with a gorgeous babe.
The Door icon means you can go into a new area.
The Game icon means this person will let you play a game for cash or
confidence.
The Price Tag icon means you can either buy things (like booze) or sell things.
6
™
Instructions will appear on-screen before each game to clue you in on what’s needed.
Press Enter to close the instruction window and continue.
Press Esc to see the Pause Menu, with various program options. If you’re unsure where
to go, press the left Alt key to bring up your Black Book. (See Larry’s Little Black Book
on p.8.)
You the Man, L a r r y !
My boy, nothing’s more essential to players like us than
confidence. It’s important to keep yours high. When you
give off a certain air, people will notice and treat you
better. And sometimes closed doors will open for a guy
who knows he’s hot stuff!
Having successful conversations with the ladies, or posing well (see Strutting Your Stuff
below), will raise your confidence. And if you really need to “get it up,” find a “confidence
game” and win it for a big boost. (See Whack-a-Pole on p. 13, for example.) Larry’s face
and the confidence meter indicate your confidence level.
Strutting Your Stuff
Here’s a little secret: One way to give your confidence a boost is to pose in front of the
right people. So go ahead, flash ’em your moves and see what happens.
But don’t start something you can’t finish. If you botch a
pose, you’ll end up looking like a dope and losing some
of that trademark Larry confidence.
When you approach someone and the Pose
icon appears, press Backspace to begin
posing for that person. Tap the indicated
arrows in sequence repeatedly to fill the pose
meter before time runs out.
7
™
L a r r y ’ s Little Black Book
If you ever find yourself lost, your Black Book will tell you
what you need to know. It’ll help you keep track of all the
foxes you’ve been dating: where they are, what they need,
and if they left you a token of affection.You can check it all
out here, under their names.
Some of the stuff you find out in the world will also be
listed in your Black Book’s Inventory and can be used
later—like a cool zoom lens for your camera, so you can
take those more intimate shots.
Press the left Alt key to bring up the Black Book, or select it from the Pause Menu. Use
the left arrow or the right arrow key to move through the pages. Press Esc to close the
Black Book.
M o n e y, M o n e y , H o n e y
At college, you’ll need money for some things—like fancy threads, bribes for bouncers,
and the occasional beverage.
And sometimes you’ll need money to impress the babes. Some of them don’t come
cheap, if you know what I mean.
If you find yourself low on dough, you can pick some up
by playing certain mini-games. And keep exploring—you
might find some stray cash lying around.
The Money Meter shows how many bucks you have,
and the Dildometer shows how many secret tokens
you’ve collected (see Token Victories on page 10 for
more on secret tokens). Press the right Alt key to
view them.
Laying Out So me Cash
There are bars, stores, and vending machines around
town that let you stock up on essential college stuff, like
fancy suits and booze.
Some girls expect a guy to be nicely dressed before
they rip his clothes off. Go figure! Anyway, there may
come a time when you need to change your outfit,
and that means buying some new threads.
8
™
Outfits can be purchased at vending machines, among other places. And there are some
really groovy accessories available too.
Clothes you’ve bought will be recorded in the Black
Book. To change clothes, open the Black Book and go
to the Outfits page. Select the outfit you want, and
you’ll automatically put it on.
Drunken Streaking 101
Hey, everybody knows we Larrys can hold our liquor.
We just get a little rambunctious sometimes, that’s all. If
you’ve got a good buzz going, you might find that some
things are a little harder to do. And if you let yourself get
totally schnockered, you may feel the urge to take off all
your clothes and start streaking.
And that’s fine, as long as you don’t get caught. For some reason, campus security and
bar bouncers don’t like to see well-endowed guys like us running around naked. If you can
elude security long enough while running past (and shocking) as many people as possible,
you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and more confident. But if you get caught, you’ll lose
some precious confidence and have one helluva hangover!
The Booze-ometer appears automatically when you consume alcohol and
shows how much you’ve imbibed. Use the arrow keys to streak. Streak past
as many people as possible while avoiding capture by guards.
Candid Shots
With all the work some babes go through to doll themselves up, you’d think taking long,
admiring looks at them would be considered socially acceptable behavior. Alas, no.
Fortunately, modern science has provided a permissible way for you to gaze as long as
you want, capture the moment forever, and even make a little money on the side.
I speak, of course, of the photographic arts. You’ve got a camera for taking photos
that you can store in your personal album, or sell for cash to interested buyers.
