So I thought I'd leave some notes to clear people up on what's included in each version of the main collections released over the years. I will focus only on the main games in the series.

*Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits & Misses (1994): This included the floppy versions of games 1-6. It also included both the remake and original LSL1. Again I repeat it has the floppy non-cd version fo Larry 6. All games on a single cd.

* Leisure Suit Larry: Collection Series (1997): This was a 2 cd collection basicallhy the same as the previous one, but the second cd included the CD-Rom Talkie version of Larry 6 (in both lo-res and hi-res versions separated by subfolders). Floppy version of 6 was on the first disk (first disk is just a reprint of the previous collection's disk as far as I remember). So that's a total of three versions of Larry 6, two talkies and floppy.

*Leisure Suit Larry: The Ultimate Pleasure Pack (2000): This four-CD collection includes same content as before. As far as I know the first he two disks are the same one from the previous version (again second disk was the talkie Larry 6 with both vga and svga versions, and floppy version on the first disk). It added the disk for Larry 7 and the disk Larry's Casino.

*Leisure Suit Larry Collection (2006): This one is is the sucky edition. Only includes the floppy versions of LSL1-6. It lacks Larry 1 EGA. This version is basically the 1994 version, with one less game.

*Leisure Suit Larry: Greatest Hits and Misses! (2013): Digital release, has 1-5 floppy (both VGA and EGA Larry 1), CD-rom talkie version of Larry 6 (but the Hi-res assets have been stripped from the download for whatever reason.)

As for Larry 6, I'm going to guess that it has come out in three versions that I know of..

1: Floppy version... This one is included in the 1994 and 2006 collections. It probably is on the first disk of the 1997 and 2000 collections as well.

2. CD-Rom version this includes both VGA and Hi-Res talkie version in the game's folders on a single cd-rom. This was included in the 1997 and 2000 collections, as the second CD.

3. The lo-res VGA only talkie version. This was included in the 2013 Gog collection. Apparently ripped from the Lores folder form the previous CD release.

Some additional notes on the 1997 two-CD collection, which I actually own: It also included a copy of the official Larry hint book for the first five games, the one by Compute Press/Worldcomm. AFAIK it was the only Sierra collection in that format to include a complete, (relatively) explicit strategy guide. It also included stuff like the Larry-themed table from Sierra's Take a Break pinball collection, The Laffer Utilities (Windows version only), the first official DOS port of Softporn Adventure, Larry's Casino (just the gambling games from Larry 5 and the SVGA remake of the original, lifted verbatim from those titles and made into standalone games), and a demo for another Sierra game that really should come to GOG sometime: Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist.

Ya, thanks for the additional information about the "EXTRAS". That might be useful to people. Keep in mind most of those extras exist in each additional version of the expansion, up to the Pleasure Pack. The 2006 strips out the 'extras'.

The above list was primarily to track the versions of Larry games specificaly. Since there are definitely some changes in versions released or removed.
I saw a game on mobygames recently, Leisure Suit Larry: cool drinks and hot girls -

I can't post links it says, if someone could do that.

I've known about it for a while. I believe it was German language only, last time I checked. I was wondering if this was available in any of the Larry collections. Can you please make this available for us GOG team.
I doubt cool drinks and hot girls is coming to gog any time soon, for a number of reasons and in no particular order: that game is owned by a different company gog does no business with, it is just a collection of three short mini games not a full fledged game, and all three of the mini game are phenomenally bad.
