Below is a straight walkthrough for the game, from start to finish. This walkthrough is meant to guide a player to the end of the game, earning all the points possible. While the game is open-ended, and allows the player to explore anywhere they have access to, there are several ways to die. Death ends your game, and you are forced to restore an old save game, or restart. In additon, it is possible for the game to end because you do not have a certain object during a specifc moment . Be sure to save the game frequently and restore whenever you hit a wall.
The original version of Leisure Suit Larry requires the player to type commands. This interface was common at the time, prior to more standard point-and-click games. As the player can enter a variety of commands, the parsing engine sometimes recognizes multiple strings of text. For example, you can hail a cab by typing HAIL CAB or CALL TAXI. The game even recognizes YO TAXI. In addition, you can shorten sentences. Instead of PICK UP THE DIAMON RING, you could just say PICK UP RING, or even just GET RING. Another example is GET IN THE TAXI CAB, you could also just say GET IN or even shorter ENTER. The walkthrough below uses very brief commands.
Larry needs money to survive in the city of Lost Wages. As Larry pays cabbies and purchases goods, his limited cash reserves deplenish. It is important to check Larry's wallet frequently (type LOOK WALLET). When Larry's cash position is low, head over to the casino and you can try to win some cash back. The odds at the casino lean toward the house, so it is best to save your game, play a round, and restore when you lose. Stop playing when you have enough cash to go on.
Occassionally during the game, someone will comment on Larry's bad breath. Fortunately, Larry carries around a little bottle of breath spray. Use the breath spray (type USE BREATH SPRAY) to save the people of Lost Wages from Larry's bad breath.
Bad breath is a humorous irritation throughout the game, and nothing more. If Larry's breath becomes foul, every person that he passes will make a comment. Some comments are humorous, but the humor gets tiresome really fast, and it becomes an annoying break in the game. Solution, just use the breath spray.
To get around town, Larry needs to use taxis. Wandering the dark streets of Lost Wages is dangerous, and walking is not recommended (be sure to save your game if you want to explore outside the city limits). To hail a taxi, Larry must be outside, typically where a taxi sign is viewable. All you have to do is type HAIL TAXI or CALL CAB, YO TAXI, or simply just TAXI. A cab will show up. Move close to the cab and type GET IN or ENTER to jump inside. Once inside the cab, tell the driver where you want to go. You can type any of the games location: BAR, CASINO, CHAPEL, STORE or DISCO (or any variations of those places, like LEFTYS). When the cab stops, the driver will tell you the fare. Just type PAY and the amount will be subtracted from his wallet. Do NOT attempt to leave the cab without paying (the taxi drivers in Lost Wages are dangerous). Once you pay, type EXIT, LEAVE or GET OUT.
