Thank you to the folks who swing by and make use of the site. I have all kinds of things about Leisure Suit Larry here, or anything Al Lowe has put his hands on. (Well, most of the things Al’s put his hands on… have you seen the things he touches? Can’t keep his hands off of anything, that guy!) I also have a number of other things hosted on the site (like I stumbled upon an old Manhunter Shrine that had gone under – reached out to the one who created and asked their permission to preserve it on here – which they loved!) So there’s all kinds of things on here.

Below is a link to the abridged story of “Betrayal In Antara.”

Grab it on Google Drive!

It’s abridged because the game is an RPG, and like most RPGs, the player encounters repetitive text (eating / sleeping / fighting / losing / winning / fast travel / “no one home” / “closed for the evening” / etc.) that doesn’t contribute much to the overall story.

Instead, I chose to focus on the main story and the various side quests & story interactions the player can encounter, turning it into a novel format (novel here meaning “book length,” not “interestingly new or unusual”) rather than simply an extracted list of all text data.

========================================

The PDF contains the following sections:

• An introduction of how the document came to be, and the reasoning behind the choices made in its creation
• An enhanced game map of Antara (for those following along at home)
• Writing credits for the game, plus the quick “primer” on the world of Antara from the game manual
• The story of the game, divided into chapters (and includes my “fan-fiction enhancements” for the cutscenes)
• A list of the game items with their various descriptions
• The lyrics to the game’s tavern songs
• Unused text found within the game files, along with my commentary
• Explanations for references found within the game, as well as fun facts

========================================

And because the document is so long, the table of content contains direct links to each of these sections.

Hope you enjoy. Whew!!! — After 11 years, it’s been quite the project.

Not only did this one hit me with some random deaths, it also hit me with a memory error (not my own memory – thankfully, I played this game a few years back and did all three routes, so most of the game is still fresh in my memory!) – but an actual game memory error. Cleared itself when I restarted the game and got to the same place!

Still, very slowly crawling to that 1,000 subscriber mark. At least check, I think I was at 710 which is way more than I ever thought my channel would get – so I appreciate everyone! But with that, now I have dreams that I might hit 1,000 subscribers – at which point I can then monetize my channel – as little as I may get – I am the sole provider for my family, so even the smallest flecks of gold I’d get from monetizing the channel are going to help put food on the table, gas in the car, and keep the lights on around here! Much love.
