BrandX and OddManor – A Word from Ken & Roberta Williams.

From Ken and Roberta Williams:

First I’d like to thank all of you who have sent emails, or posted messages, thanking Roberta and I for the games. We’re bad about responding to our email, but we do read it all!

One common theme, in emails we receive, is that we are constantly being asked when we’ll make another game. Unfortunately, as sad as we are to admit this, the odds are heavy that the answer is “never.” Like an athlete turning 30, there comes a time when it is appropriate to exit as a hero, and let the next generation take their turn.

That said, I have a bit of an announcement, and an opportunity for you.

Our son, Chris, who worked with us a VERY long time ago at Sierra, is now a lead engineer at BrandX games on a massively online social adventure game called “Odd Manor.”

Chris is seeking beta testers (actually alpha testers) for his game, and would appreciate it if you would sign up. Game testing will be during a closed “pre-alpha” launch on Facebook starting in April.

To sign up, go to this link: http://www.OddManor.com

The game is early in development, so “be kind.”

Enjoy!

-Ken and Roberta Williams

PS For a bit more info about the game, you can check out these links: (although, Chris needs testers, so PLEASE just sign up and check the game out yourself).

Something in the works… Revealed!

So here it is! It’s only the first game (and it feels like it took forever to do – but I am proud of how it turned out!) It’s a Leisure Suit Larry (in this case LSL1EGA) “Interactive” walkthrough of the game with none other than Larry Laffer himself!

Note – the interactive map relied on screen resolution; and in today’s systems, the map would break so it’s been purged.

Something’s in the works…

… to be added to the Larry Laffer website. What started off as a small task I had wanted to do – has developed into something much bigger. Something much cooler. To complete the ENTIRE thing is going to take a very, very, very long time. But I should be able to complete the first part of it within a week or two. I think it’s going to make the site a little unique for this one thing, if nothing else. Quite excited about it, really. Especially since it’s 2:45am and I have been working on this (to make it work) since like 11pm.

Let’s InterAct(ion)…

Ken William’s site at SierraGamers.com has an archive of all the issues of Sierra’s InterAction (and it’s previously varied names) on the site – and I had gone on there to find a specific issue, then decided to just grab them all and upload them here as well, because many of the issues have things related to Leisure Suit Larry. So if you want, you can check out what will be the beginning of collecting random Sierra related things on the site as well.

A few new things…

We’ve added Leisure Suit Larry 1 Codes & CheatsLeisure Suit Larry 2 Codes & CheatsLeisure Suit Larry 3 Codes & CheatsLeisure Suit Larry 5 Codes & Cheats, and Leisure Suit Larry 7 Codes & Cheats. Also you can check out the Larry Music Page where you can download the sheet music, and the all the songs from Leisure Suit Larry (in ZIP format). You can also go to the WalkThru page and download all the Manuals and Hintbooks for the Leisure Suit Larry games. We also threw in some ExXxTras Bits & Bytes where you can download game designs, hint books, manuals, videos, and other… bits and bytes!

Free Stuff! And Who Doesn’t Like Free Stuff?

So – who doesn’t like free games? The wonderful creator of Leisure Suit Larry is offering an assortment of free games! You can get Spin Palace Gaming (which has like 84 Casino Games!), The Black Cauldron, Donald Duck’s Playground, Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood, Mickey’s Space Adventure, Troll’s Tale, Dragon’s Keep, The Laffer Utilities and Softporn! Sound too good to be true? It’s not! Check it out on Al Lowe’s Download Page!
