In the early [[The Eighties|Eighties]], an up-and-coming programmer named Chuck Benton decided to test his programming skills by churning out a small, [[Interactive Fiction|text-based]] [[Adventure Game]] for the [[Apple II]] by the title of ''Softporn Adventure''. After the title received runaway success, its publisher [[Sierra Online]] decided that since the game was the only text-based game they'd published, the game was due for an upgrade, so they decided to delegate the task to in-house [[Disney]] game developer Al Lowe who, after taking a look at the game, figured the game was so outdated it might as well be wearing a leisure suit.
 
From thereon sprung Al Lowe's idea to take ''Softporn Adventure'' and remake it from the ground up, rewriting its script completely into something much funnier, and replacing its [[AFGNCAAPFeatureless Protagonist|formerly anonymous protagonist]] with Larry Laffer, a computer programmer in his early 40's who decides to get a life and go woo some women and [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|lose his virginity by the end of his nocturnal visit to]] [[Viva Las Vegas|Lost Wages]]. Being a big fan of [[The Seventies]], he loves disco and wears a leisure suit (which [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|he and only he thinks is cool)]] from which the newly reborn ''Leisure Suit Larry'' took its name.
 
At its time of release, the game became widely known for its raunchy content and [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|surprisingly varied level of world interactivity]] (thanks to being the first Sierra game to be publicly tested). The game was followed up by two sequels before [[Missing Episode|the famed fourth game in the franchise failed to ship]] and Al Lowe decided to skip straight to the fifth game and keep going until the seventh. The franchise was then left to Sierra's hands to pass around to different developers.
