Last week, we reported that a revival of the once canceled action-adventure game Sam Suede would go on, at least for now, without any involvement from the game's original writer Al Lowe. Lowe's most famous game creation, the highly funny and adult Leisure Suit Larry series, was one of the most popular adventure game series of all time when Lowe was in charge but after 1996's seventh game Leisure Suit Larry: Love For Sail (pictured to the right) he was never directly involved in the game future incarnations which were critical and sales bombs.

However Lowe just recently updated his personal web site with his basic idea for his planned follow up to Love For Sail. In a nutshell, "Larry 8" would have seen the goofy Lothario in outer space with women who wanted to . . you know . . .to him. However they turn out to be aliens who want to use Larry to propagate a species that looks human and would try to infiltrate and take over the Earth. Naturally only Larry could stop this plot.

Lowe states that the new owners of the game's publisher Sierra Online tried to get him to work on the game without signing a contract. He states, "I refused to flesh out the design until we reached an agreement on terms. They didn't want to negotiate, so I left." Our loss indeed.
