For starters, the back to the future NES game was a terrible waste of time. How that even got approved of is beyond me. I'm at least thankful that Telltale Games did a game of BTTF to erase the existence of that turd. Now if only someone could do a Roger Rabbit game in the vein of Grim Fandango and L.A Noire to erase the memory of the NES game.
Leisure Suit Larry: Manga Cum Laude. This is proof on how you can screw up(no pun intended) a video game series without having its creator on board on developing a game based off of a series. MCL has nothing to do with the original main character Larry Laffer, as we get introduced to his nephew who's trying to be like his Uncle Larry(losing his virginity to a babe on the college campus). Makes you wonder how Larry's family tree works. This game isn't a point and click adventure game, its just a mini game based extravaganza. Whats even more insulting is the fact that there's sex in this game. I know that the previous LSL games had references to sex, but they were kept at a minimum and were there to sneak in on humor to humiliate Larry Laffer.
That is nonexistence in this game since there's so much sex references all over the place its hard to find the humor in it. Its like whoever stepped into the then Sierra company wasn't into the original LSL games and thought it was mainly about sex instead of humoring the player by having Larry get humiliated in the most comical way possible. I'm not going to go into details with the content, but I'm not surprised that there was so much references to sex that they even went out of their way to produce a 'uncut' version of the game. This game was trying way to hard to be like Ralph Bakshi's Fritz The Cat with all the references to sex being in this game. If I wanted a porn video game I would have asked Zone to make a proper one. Its no wonder why Al Lowe hates this(and the sequel Box office bust that I refuse to play) because they are both nothing but big fat middle fingers to gamers and fans of the original Leisure Suit Larry series.
