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.
