Question

Game Compatable With Windows 8.1?

Jan 24, 2014 1:49AM PST

Wasn't sure where to ask this.
But, I'm considering installing Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded.
Was curious if it was compatible with Windows 8.1.

I was going to ask this on the Leisure Suit Larry Forum. But, I registered nearly a week ago and haven't gotten an email with the activation instructions.
I would have been better off using regular mail. Who needs email!!

Creator Leaves

Leisure Suit Larry creator Al Lowe, who created the adventure series and worked on the game's 2013 Kickstarter-funded Reloaded version, has quit the company after a sex scandal involving publisher Replay Games.

Lowe explained to Kotaku that his decision to leave the company was due in part to the recent arrest of Replay Games president Paul Trowe, who pleaded guilty to showing an explicit video to a minor in 2012.

Trowe, who claims he did not know the age of the young woman before showing her the video, took a plea bargain in April 2013 that put him on two years probation and required that he take a sex offender counseling class.

"There were many reasons for my departure, including that [2012] incident," Lowe said. To his knowledge, Replay Games retains the rights to publish more Leisure Suit Larry games.

"But they'll have to do them without me," he said.

Last year, Lowe and Replay Games launched what would become a successful Kickstarter campaign for Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded, which was released in June of this year. A retail version of the point-and-click adventure game for PC came to retail in October.
