History Trivia / LeisureSuitLarry

** Around after the development of Love for Sail, there were plans for an 8th installment of the series called [[JustForPun Lust In Space]]. However, due to uncertainty between Lowe and CUC Software, the owners of Sierra at the time, he left the company, grinding production to a halt. However [[http://www.allowe.com/games/larry/inside-stories/lsl8-plot.html Al has some details about this unmade title]].

* GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld: Al Lowe had little-to-no involvement in ''Magna Cum Laude'' or ''Box Office Bust''. Heck, due to poor foresight, Al doesn't own the rights to Larry, which Sierra sold to Creator/{{Codemasters}}. Lowe would famously compared ''Magna Cum Laude'' and ''Box Office Bust'' to receiving a ransom video from your son's kidnappers: "On one hand, you're glad he's still alive, but on the other, oh my God, look what they've done to him!"

* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/JeffreyTambor replaces Larry Laffer's regular voice actor Jan Rabson in ''Box Office Bust''. Rabson would later voice Larry again in ''Reloaded'' and ''Wet Dreams Don't Dry''.

** Al Lowe was involved with ''Wet Dreams Don't Dry'' and its sequel either, but he mentioned on the CCG Podcast that he was more enthusiastic about it than he was with the Lovage duology.

** So far, it doesn't look like Lowe is involved with ''Wet Dreams Don't Dry'' either.

* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/JeffreyTambor replaces Larry Laffer's regular voice actor Jan Rabson in ''Box Office Bust''. Rabson would later voice Larry again in ''Reloaded''.

** A film adaptation was planned in the 1990s, with Creator/JimCarrey in mind for the role of Larry.

* FranchiseKiller: ''Box Office Bust'' more or less ensured that non-remake games of ''Leisure Suit Larry'' wouldn't see the light of day, so much that Creator/AlLowe ended up thanking Activision (who had absorbed Sierra by that point) for keeping him and themselves away from the atrocity (Activision had sold the series to Codemasters by the time ''Box Office Bust'' was in early development).

Codemasters actually owns the writers to Leisure Suit Larry, not Activision.

* ContestWinnerCameo: The ''Reloaded'' version of ''LSL 1'' had this as Kickstarter pledge goals. These included patrons in Lefty's, the crowd calling Larry a pervert in the convenience store, background characters in the disco, and drunks found in Lefty's backroom and outside the convenience store.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: According to ''LSL 2'''s hint book, the spinach dip puzzle was based on an incident that occurred during the game's development. During a party that Al Lowe and his wife were hosting, one of the employees brought spinach dip, which spoiled at some point during the party. Everyone who ate it got dreadfully sick a week later, prompting the idea for the puzzle.
--> '''Al Lowe:''' You had to figure out that silly puzzle just because I made all of my friends sick at Sierra.
