- Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places)
- Leisure Suit Larry III: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals
- Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work (VGA version only)
- Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! (VGA & SVGA CD-ROM "talkie" version)
- The GOG.com re-release retains the manual-based copy protection of the original game. See: Issues fixed.

After you input your age, on the screen with the first question, use the following key combination to skip the quiz: Alt+Ctrl+X. |
