      I've been pimping you so hard ...wait, this sentence is starting off all wrong. I've plugged you everywhere I can think to... no, still wrong. Well, I'm advertising as best I can. And if I could give more, I would. :(

      Well, went from $15 to $150. This is why I'm poor!

      Mr. Al Lowe, every time I hear your voice, I feel compelled to give you more money. I've been resisting until now, but that t-shirt sure looks nice. Upped to $40 (from $15).

      I second that notion. GoG would be an excellent place for an interview. I originally frequented there specifically for Sierra games.

      One idea for an additional reward: original art from the game. Have you considered offering that? I noticed you're offering lithographic prints, but I bet the original art would attract more interest.

      Creator Porpoise Hork on April 18, 2012

      I noticed that many of the other kickstarter projects have banners that can be added to facebook or forums ect that really do help spread the word. can you guys throw something together like LSL Kickstarter Backer with Larry in the background? More people will see these and think hey I remember Larry, whats this all about? Or who the heck is Larry and then look it up.

      just a thought.

      Great video. Reposted it on my Facebook page. I want to see this succeed so badly that I'm trying to get as many people on board as I can. I would up my pledge even further, but my wallet is already weeping in pain.

      Creator ZirconJimLaffer83 on April 18, 2012

      @Laserschwert: Yes, it does.

      Al, your eternal optimism is a beacon for this project.

      Woah! only 125k before hitting the goal! Glad to see you Paul and Josh were able to resurrect Larry. Its kind of like the last mile before the goal at a marathon :)

      Creator Laserschwert on April 18, 2012

      I've pledged for the $100 reward tier before the T-shirt tier was added. Now, the description of the $100 tier says that it includes all previous rewards as well. Does this include the t-shirt?

      Creator Sebastian Ruecker on April 18, 2012

      I just plugged the game anywhere I could. I also made my father bcome a backer and YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME! :D

      When I was little (7 or 8 i think) my father and I played the game together... since I am from Germany and did not speak English at the time, he had to translate! :) I did not get the adult jokes but it still was GREAT.

      Maybe you should add more digital content (no shipping) for International backers like me! :)

      If you do another AMA on reddit, then please do it so that Europeans can also be in it. It was 2 AM in my country when Al was on, and i needed to be up early the next day.
      I have pledged 25 dollars, i am considering raising to 40 or 50 dollars, or maybe just pledge 10 dollars for the cause, with no price.

    18. Shieldobsidian_companion_300px_wei%c3%9f.small

      Creator Kabraxis on April 18, 2012

      Raised to $50.
      Still my question is if one needs to add $15 to the $50 and $75 reward for international shipping because of the Shirt from the $40 reward (in case you also get it when pledging $50 or $75).

    19. Missing_small

      Creator Toploader on April 18, 2012

      I'd be so disappointed if this does not at least make the target. Wish I could pledge more than $100.

      Creator Ed Hale on April 17, 2012

      Pledged.

      It's awesome to see all you guys (Tim Schafer, Brian Fargo, Jane Jensen, Chris Jones (I hear a new Tex Murphy project is coming to Kickstarter in May) and, of course Mr. Al Lowe) bringing great games back to life, but... could you guys spread out the timing a bit? It gets expensive trying to support everyone at once. ;)

    24. Missing_small

      Creator William Sheridan on April 17, 2012

      Stop trying to get then to add stuff to your tier... All it needs is a 150$ tier, but we are on our way already to metering the goal

    25. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bob Bailey on April 17, 2012

      Upped and promoted on Facebook.and forum!

    26. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Erwin Roossien on April 17, 2012

      You should really make haste with the t-shirt design's... Only 14 days left. Also, why not give $50 ($65) backers acces to Beta program (no alpha) and make $75 with alpha testing. It also feels the $75 bucks tier needs an item like 'fixed dice' or.. cheap replica of Larry's Necklace. So give $50,- beta access and add something for $75 tier. Think people would up their pledge to $50 or $75 bucks.

      Creator joel - the one and only on April 17, 2012

      I think people here spreading the word all they can but i really urge you, to arrange interviews and articles with as many Onlinechannels as you can. Jane Jensen actually does a great job with that, she just had two new articles about her game yesterday. There are sure a lot of adventure game websites to start with, Forums... even Websites of Adventure Game Engines, were a lot of fans are lurking. Nostalgia Sites, Retro Gaming Sites... the possibilities are endless ;)

      First: No, thank you (all of you) bringing us good ol' Larry back as we know him instead of this Oliver Pocher nephew of Larry garbage from the Twilight Zone
      Second: Yes I am reconsidering making a higher pledge, I sure want this to happen and happen as best as possible
      Third: Hope to see you a little bit more often in the forum, in terms of posting ;)

      I just pledged 100 dollars, I love the LSL series. My favorite moment is the Bill Clinton bit in LSL 7, I literally sat there listening to him and it cracked me up. I hope you'll be planning to do things like that, maybe bring Bill back making fun of Obama or something.

AND you will get “Special Thanks” in the actual game credit. That’s right, your name will be right up there in pixels!

    Larrywood's Walk of Shame Edition: For each of our 20 $750 pledgers, we're creating a Larrywood Walk of Shame. We'll be putting your name into the game -- not just in the credits, but engraved on its own individual star set into the sidewalk somewhere in beautiful Lost Wages! (We reserve the right to let Larry or the Narrator make some kind of comment about it when he finds it, just in case your name itself isn't very funny.) And, of course, you'll get everything from the lower tiers as well. Note: these stars will ONLY be available at this tier, not at any of the higher tiers! So grab 'em while we've got 'em!

  • Pledge $1,000 or more

    42 backers Limited (8 of 50 left)

    Limited Edition: There is no possible way to set a price on all the collectibles you get at the $1000 pledge level. (Oops, we just did.) We are striking 50, and only 50, signed and numbered lithographs of custom Larry artwork. For a $1000 pledge, you will receive one of these 50 signed/numbered lithographs, PLUS one of a limited edition (again, only 50) “Girls of Leisure Suit Larry” calendars, again with custom artwork, and again numbered and signed by Al Lowe. The calendars and lithographs are available at this tier only, not in any of the other tiers! You’ll also receive all the premiums from all the previous reward tiers! What a bonanza! (please add $15 for international shipping)

    Lizard’s Edition: At the $1,100 pledge level, you’ll get one of two gigantic, durable, limousine-sized Leisure Suit Larry banners. Two is all we have, and we’re not making any more, so don’t even ask. These banners are signed by Al Lowe, and each contains an exclusive typo that makes it highly unlikely that anybody can (or would ever want to) duplicate them! These banners will not be available at any other tier! Plus, of course, you’ll also receive all the premiums from the Signed Edition tier and below…because we care. (please add $20 for international shipping)

    Pervert’s Edition: So let’s say you want to pledge $2,500, but you can’t see yourself ever setting foot in a disco, real or virtual. We can’t blame you for that, but we’ll still make you famous. One of Larry’s most memorable scenes is when he attempts to buy a “lubber” at a convenience store, and the customers jump out from behind the aisles and scream “Pervert!” at poor, demented Larry. We’ll make YOUR face into one of those pervert-yelling patrons! You’ll also receive all the premiums from the Signed Edition reward tier and below.

    Doggie Style Edition: Here’s another hypothetical: you’d love to be in the game, but you’re really more of a dog person than a disco-dweller or a pervert-shouter. We’ve got you covered! For a $5,000 pledge, we’ll immortalize your dog in the game. Whenever Larry gets…uh…refreshed by the dog outside, that’ll be YOUR dog! (Please, oh please, let it be a Shih Tzu!) You’ll also receive all the premiums from the Signed Edition reward tier and below, because why should your dog have all the fun? (please add $15 for international shipping)

    Drunk's Edition: Here is another option for the $5,000 pledge. There are two featured drunks in Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, and you can be one of them! We’ll use your name and image to recreate you as a down-on-your-luck, staggering, sloppy drunk…and knowing you, that’ll be a cinch for our artists. You’ll also receive all the premiums from the Signed Edition reward tier and below. Maybe you could sell some of those collectibles and get a fresh start?

    Lefty's Bar Edition: For a pledge of $5,000, you can be a patron at the bar that Destructoid called the #1 bar in all video game history! We’ll use your name and image as one of the drinkers at Lefty’s, sitting right there on your very own stool, an “honor” previously reserved for Sierra employees only. You’ll not only become a part of Sierra history, you’ll also receive all the premiums from the Signed Edition reward tier and below. (please add $15 for international shipping)

    Disco Edition: For a $5,000 pledge, we’ll make you part of gaming history…by putting you into the game itself!!!! (So if you haven’t hidden the kids yet, now’s the time.) We will feature your name and likeness as one of the people in the Lost Wages disco. We are only going to turn 6 of the disco patrons into Kickstarter pledgers, so this is a VERY limited offer and will not be available in any other pledge reward tier. You will also receive all the premiums from the Signed Edition reward tier and below.

    Naked Edition: Another alternative reward for a $5,000 pledge, and this is truly one-of-a-kind; only one pledger will be able to claim this reward. You can be the broke gambler wandering the streets of Lost Wages wearing nothing but a barrel! We will use your name and image as the Barrel Man (or Woman), and we promise not to show any of the naughty bits (“unless,” as Kathy Bates always says, “the script really calls for it organically”). You will also get all the premiums from the Signed Edition reward tier and below.

    Age Verification Edition: Here’s our last unique pledge, and then we’ll shut up about the unique pledges and start talking real money. At the beginning of the game, we have famously used a bank of random questions called the “Age Verification” quiz to keep out players too young -- or too tasteful -- to play. We will use YOUR NAME in the bank of quiz questions. You will end up in every walk-through in every gaming website across the world! This is a one-of-a-kind offer; only one person will be able to claim this reward. Plus, you will get all the premiums from the Signed Edition reward tier and below!

    No Free Lunch Edition: For $10,000, we’ll create a memory that will last a lunchtime. You will be flown (domestic airfare only) to Seattle to enjoy lunch, dinner, or a morning-after breakfast with Leisure Suit Larry’s Mommy’s Baby Daddy, Mr. Al Lowe himself. He’ll sign whatever you want him to sign (except IRS forms and blank checks), answer all your questions about life, tell you some dirty jokes, and, best of all, he’ll do something that he’s never done before in the history of the world: he’ll pick up the check! We’ll put you up overnight and send you back home happy, fed, and loaded down with all the goodies from the Signed Edition reward tier and below. We’ll even give you the entire chocolate factory for your very own…oh, wait a minute, that’s a whole different licensed property.
