YMMV / Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards

• Accidental Innuendo: The VGA version has a device driver with the name "STD". While it has this in common with all Sierra games, its use in this particular one makes it a very accidental innuendo indeed.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The scene where Larry screwed up again and gets his body recycled ("justifying" the restore and restart functions) is just an extended joke at the player's expense. Even by the standards of this game it has nothing to do with anything.
• Faux Symbolism:
  • To win the first game, you give Eve an apple to seduce her. Subtle.
  • As noted in the main page, nearly all women have a double meaning name, but they don't seem to relate to them or their personality (other than the Ironic Name of Fawn).
• Harsher in Hindsight: The age-verification questions for the first Leisure Suit Larry, released in 1987, include:
  O. J. Simpson is
  a. an R & B singer.
  b. under indictment.
  c. embarrassed by his first name (Olivia).
  d. no one to fool with.
  (The correct answer was d.)
• Porting Disaster: The iOS port of Reloaded on iPhone 6, where BGMs do not play at all, along with other glitches. It also cuts out the Easter Egg of turning off the bubbles to see Eve's breasts.
• Remade and Improved: Whether the remakes are better is divisive as each version of Larry 1 has its own charm and features, but it's practically universally agreed upon that the game is an improvement over Softporn Adventure, the game it was meant to be a remake of, as not only does the addition of graphics make the world feel much more alive and memorable, but the writing is far sharper and the erotic elements being Played for Laughs rather than straight titillation helped the game age better than other erotic games of the era.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Larry is supposed to be a lovable loser. However towards the end of the game, he attempts to drug and rape a woman. The only reason this fails is the woman already had a boyfriend. This made worse by how he never receives any punishment for this and manages to successfully convince Eve to have sex with him shortly after.
• Values Dissonance: One of the age verification questions asks what "the tackiest seventies fashion" was. All of the answers are correct - including "bisexuality". Implying nowadays that bisexuality is some sort of fashion statement or fad (and a "tacky" one at that) simply wouldn't fly.
