I suspect (and correct me if this doesn't seem feasible) that GOG may include 7 with a bundle of 7+MCL+BOB, as a way to entice people to buy the other two "crapfests". It would be nice if they could include some of the "Other software", too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_Suit_Larry#Other_software

As long as 7 is coming, it seems like what we have now is a fantastic deal.

Keep in mind this current collection needs the svga upgraded art for Larry 6. That is a noticeable missing item.

Yeah, I'm not really worrying about Love For Sail, it's Al Lowe's magnum opus, it will make its way here. It's the SVGA version of Leisure Suit Larry 6 that worries me the most.

Don't worry about Love for Sail, unless Codemasters decides to wuss out like Vivendi did.

I'm glad that I have the CD for LSL7 and that I own the LSL official book that came with the LSL collection in the 1990's.

The CD I have for LSL6 talkie is the SVGA version. I am glad I still have the CD for this one. My Larry collection so far is:

LSL 1 on CD VGA only (Will get GOG version later to get the original LSL1 in my collection)
LSL 2-5 on CD
LSL 6 on CD (CD only has VGA no talkie and SVGA talkie. Am I missing anything by not having the VGA talkie for LSL6)
LSL 7 on CD
LSL MCL on CD
LSL Casino on CD
LSL Official Book

Joek0 you must have had the 2006 vivendi collection? Since you mention you don't have the EGA version of LSL1? If you own any of three 1990's collections, they all come with the EGA and VGA versions of the first game.

"LSL 6 on CD (CD only has VGA no talkie and SVGA talkie. Am I missing anything by not having the VGA talkie for LSL6) "

Just move the Resource.aud out of the AUD directory into the "LORES" folder, and the VGA version becomes a VGA with talking. It is apparently a bug that prevents it from installing with the speech, through normal means. No guerentees though, but this is how it worked with the LSL Collection Series (LSL Collection 2) set.

Most of my LSL CD games are from the 2006 Vivendi Collection. I had previously owned the 1997 LSL collection, but lost some of the CDs. I lost LSL1-6 CD in that collection, but recovered the CD with the SVGA talkie version of LSL6 and the official book that came with the collection. I bought LSL7 from a friend in school in the late 90's. He didn't want it any more. I bought LSL from him at a small markup. I bought LSL Casino when it released at a Best Buy in the late 90's.

I own every Sierra game on GOG, but only own the LSL games on CD. I do however own the King's Quest Companion book (4th Edition).

Both versions of LSL6 should be on the same CD, as far as I know. The main folder should be something like LSL6 (or LL6CD) then subfolders should include AUD, LORES, HIRES, SFX, etc. Those are the primarily important ones (VESA and ENGLISH aren't as important as far as I know). Like I said to get speech all you need to do is move Resource.aud into the LORES or HIRES folder if speech isn't working in Dosbox. This works on the 1997 LSL "Collection Series".

It just seems strange to me to include 6 games for 10 dollars and then 1 game for 6 dollars. I'm hoping it will be a little more "competitive" or more of a deal than that.

I wonder why they couldn't include LSL6 SVGA with this collection. Any ideas? Compatibility issues? Did GOG just "forget" about it, as unfortunately they seem prone to do? :(

Well I hope its not an "AO" rating issue!

Though personally I wouldn't mind having them include the two latter Larry games, even if they suck. Just to have them part of my collection. At least to have them to use for information for the Larry WIkipedia.

As for LSL6, there is no compatiblity issues for the SVGA version except in SCUMMVM, it works great in DosBox.

So its probably 'forgotten'. Although that's a bit weird explanation, since the folder structure should have at least resembled the games previous releases right (not counting the 2006 collection)?

I seem to recall hearing that they sometimes have to dig deep into their own, private collections for the games they put out. If that's true then, in this case, it's probably just a matter of "someone at GOG didn't have the SVGA version".

So, has anyone attempted to send them copies of the missing games in the other sierra collections?

I mean I could try to send them copies of PQ1 EGA, SQ1VGA, and KQ1SCI if it came down to that?

I have not-legal copy of KQ4AGI somewhere in my backups (as I personally do not own the disks, and that version is extremely rare as it is) but I wonder if they could legally include the copy via permission from Activision, if I sent it to them, and they would be willing to include it in their collection as well? Keep in mind I own multiple legal copies from multiple collections of regular KQ4 SCI (I own every official KQ collection they ever made I think, including the GOG's digital release via the Christmas sales).

On a related note, most people may not know this, but SCUMMVM will run the Apple II versions of most of the AGI sierra games, and they are neat due to improved music and sound effects! Granted i'm not sure that SCUMMVM has the original APPLE II screen colors. I wonder if GOG could get legal permission to include those as well?

Another variant that some people might be interested in is the non-talkie KQ5. Unfortunately I don't have a good copy of that, and my original disks are bad (and no drive to access the if they still worked).

I doubt it's a matter of them being unable to get copies of the missing games. It's probably due to licensing/compatibility problems that these alternate versions are prevented from getting a GOG release. Like ScummVM having problems with the SVGA Larry 6. Also, there is the simple fact that most people won't care which version of the game they are playing, only nerds on the internet do. :-)

I can guerantee you there are no 'compatibility' problems with any of these old games. They function on Dosbox just fine, and most function even better on SCUMMVM. Larry 6 Hires for example works fine in Dosbox. no old 16-bit windows required.

A few I mention function only on SCUMMVM or only on Dosbox though. But most have a program that they function on just fine.

As for PQ1 EGA and Space Quest VGA, and KQ SCI, there are many people complaining those are missing, considering they are practically completely different games, changed puzzles, completely different art, new and enhanced musical scores, new scripts, etc. There is a reason why the 2006 collections (that had missing games, were generally critically panned as far as 'collection' reviews are concerned).

And as of late, collections like Quest for Glory and this Larry collection have offered both the EGA and the VGA versions of the games.

Also may I remind you the Broken Sword fans wanted both the originals and the 'director's cuts' offered to them, and GOG gave them to them.

Well to be fair we already have a set that has 6 games for 9.99 and the others for 5.99

Now I know that doesn't make a ton of sense at first but as Simon G once pointed out alot of the "bundles" like Ultima 1+2+3 and the Might and Magic 6 pack that GOG sells are just sets that have already been originally sold in retail years ago so it seems they often just purchase the rights to sell the original commercial bundles rather then purchase the licences for each game individually.

For example Ultima 1+2+3 and Ultima 4+5+6

And so on. Yes I know there was a Set with Love for sale included and GOG could of used that one but it's possible GOG did not have access to that particular set since I doubt Codemasters would have a copy laying around and so GOG would have to use whatever version they could acquire and this seems to be the version they could get.
