 The '''Leisure Suit Larry''' games are an extremely successful series of graphic adventures, made by [[Sierra]].
+The first Leisure Suit Larry was a graphical remake of a text adventure called ''Softporn Adventure'', which was released by Sierra in 1981 (which is out of scope of ScummVM since it's not a point-and-click adventure, although the Z-machine conversion of ''Softporn Adventure'' can be played using the gargoyle engine from ScummVM's sister project, [http://scummvm-misc.sourceforge.net/ ScummVM-Misc]).
+The main series consists of:
 * [[Leisure Suit Larry]]

 * [[Leisure Suit Larry 7]]
-The series was so popular it also spawned various minigame and joke releases: ''The Laffer Utilities (1992)''  (a collection of programs meant to parody the popular Norton Utilities package), ''Leisure Suit Larry's Casino (1998)'' (a standalone version of "LarryLand" from the ImagiNation Network), and ''Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude'' (a collection of minigames starring a new character named Larry Lovage, who is the purported nephew of the original Larry Laffer) (2004).  These are neither graphical adventure games, nor are they an actual part of the Leisure Suit Larry series.  They are merely listed here for the sake of completeness.
+There were also two collections of gambling related minigames using the [[SCI]] engine (which were both minigames from other Sierra products):
+* [[Crazy Nick's Software Picks: Leisure Suit Larry Casino]] (1992) (a collection of gambling minigames from ''Leisure Suit Larry 5'')
+* [[Leisure Suit Larry Casino]] (1998) (a collection of gambling minigames that is a standalone version of "LarryLand" from the ImagiNation Network),
+Additionally, the series was so popular it also spawned various other minigame and joke releases: ''The Laffer Utilities (1992)''  (a collection of programs meant to parody the popular Norton Utilities package), ''Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude'' (2004) (a collection of minigames starring a new character named Larry Lovage, who is said to be the nephew of the original protaganist, Larry Laffer), and. ''Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust'' (2009) (the sequel to ''Magna Cum Laude'', once again a collection of minigames starring Larry Lovage). These are not in the scope of ScummVM since they are not graphical adventure games, do not run on the [[AGI]] or [[SCI]] engines, and are not part of the main Leisure Suit Larry series.  They are merely listed here for the sake of completeness.
+Both the [[AGI]] and [[SCI]] version of the original [[Leisure Suit Larry]]
