Urban legend note

What's with the note about the urban legend? I read it as "There's a false urban legen legend that if you do X in the game, Y happens. (By the way, if you do X in the game, Y happens.)"

Could someone please explain what's going on? --Billpg 12:53, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly. It says 'There's a false urban legen legend that if you do X in the game, Y happens TO YOUR PC. (By the way, if you do X in the game, something similar happens to LARRY.)' Pictureuploader 22:21, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I totally missed that. Thanks. --Billpg 01:16, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I got the ping-pong virus from copied floppies containing this game. Urban legend or not, for me it was (partially) true. It wasn't connected to doing X in the game though.

By the way, Larry doesn't die from the disease, but it "makes life not worth living". ComaVN 10:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm? I remember that Larry's skin changes and then he dies. Maybe tyou refer to 'time is up' after night passes? Pictureuploader 11:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- In the VGA version, it causes Larry's entire lower body to explode. Then it says "While life may be possible, to you it is no longer worth living." I think he did die in the original version of the game. - furrykef (Talk at me) 20:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hmm, the EGA version has the same message, although Larry does die immediately afterward. - furrykef (Talk at me) 05:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Phonecall using answers you told over the phone before

I've just been playing this game to check it out (I like old junky games), and theres this part where you can call a number written on the telephone, you answer a few questions about some girl, and then the girl calls you later. I was wondering if its possible to get to where she is, but I sort of doubt it. If anyone knows definatively - it would be a useful note on this page.

I have read Al Lowe's bok and he doesn't mention anything like that. Old games were not that easter egg intuitive back then Pictureuploader 11:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Dial 555-6969.

Death by flirting

I tried to recreate the "flirting death" mentioned in the article (the one where you try to flirt with the male patrons) to no avail. I haven't found it in any walkthrough. Does anyone know exactly what to do? Zainker 20:25, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am an old gamer of Larry and still, it's first time I hear that (not that I don't discover new stuff from time to time). Maybe it refers to another game of the series. Pictureuploader 23:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's fake, and now removed. Korodzik (talk) 11:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Napkin

Am I the only one who had a napkin packaged with the game? I guess I'll have to take a picture of it.

Images

I restored the previous images, and moved the one of 1987 edition Fawn, for the following reasons:

I find my version of 1991 Fawn to be both smaller and cleaner (better colors and no pointer in the middle)
I believe including illustrations of all the women in the game is valuable for illustrating the plot

If you find the rationale to be lacking please feel free to clarify it, of let's have a discussion. --Maggu (talk) 16:40, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
