Thanks to a new upload by "lemonhead" and "Digitoxin", I could finally complete my personal floppy disk collection of the 1987 game "Larry Leisure Suit" for the IBM-PC, Version 1.0.

This game was copy protected, so it's always neat to have all kinds of disk image formats available. I just dumped and added my own TeleDisk image. It works!

If you're curious: Here's Digitoxin's collection of "Sierra On-Line" titles:

Back in 1986 / '87, when I personally was still in Kindergarten, Two Guy from Andromeda created a fantastic graphic adventure game called "Space Quest". It became an instant hit and spawned several sequels.

Here's the original "Space Quest - Chapter I - The Sarien Encounter", Version 1.2 for Commodore Amiga. Including full KryoFlux streams, CT RAW and ADF disk images. Have fun!
