Al Lowe, creator of several video games in the early days of PC gaming, is putting his source code collection from Sierra On-Line up for auction on eBay. The listing includes source code for Leisure Suit Larry, its sequel, and Softporn, the adventure that inspired him to create the franchise.
Al Lowe, the creator of the Leisure Suit Larry series and a principal figure in the early days of PC video gaming through his work at Sierra On-Line, has put all of his source code on eBay — including to the original Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards and Leisure Suit Larry 2, where both are commanding bids greater than $7,500.
Lowe, 72, who also was the lead programmer for King’s Quest 3 and Police Quest, discussed the sale in a video posted yesterday by YouTuber MetalJesusRocks. “I backed everything up because I knew Sierra didn’t,” Lowe said, explaining the provenance of his source code file.
