I'm surprised this isn't bigger news.

Agreed...it still isn't on the front or news page of the site. Still between this and the original versions of the Sierra games being re-released digitally it's nice to see that Activision is actually paying attention to the value of their back-catalog.

Good news to me. I've never played any of the Leisure Suit Larry games, so this, as I've said plenty of times before, will be ideal. The more classic adventures that are re-released in HD or Special Edition form the better!
I just hope that Jane Jensen gets the rights to Gabriel Knight next!

Did they actually get the rights back from Activision, or are they doing this for Activision?

How encouraging is this? Great news! I look forward to something new especially. Let's hope some of the damage the last couple of abominations caused can be undone.

Awesome, first Lucasarts, now Sierra. Bring back all the classics!

The only slightly disappointing thing is that this is only LSL1 so far, and supposedly it's not coming until late next year? I've already played 3 different versions of that game (Softporn, LSL1, remake) probably 20+ times. LSL2 and LSL3 will be the ones that benefit the most from HD upgrades. Let's just hope we get to them before 2014!
I am looking forward to the 2020 release of LSL7. |

I can't believe that Lust in Space is actually a possibility now... several years AFTER the death of Sierra. You can't keep a good franchise down. |

Oh man, I hope they're able to wrangle the original voice actors. Hearing the banter between the narrator and Larry again would make my decade. |

I create. Therefore I am.

I think it will be fun playing this game in HD, up-to-date.
I've played the original EGA-version and VGA-version, so why not this too? I'm looking forward to it (and playing it on my 40' screen) The only sad thing is that they aren't true to the original backgrounds, but oh well.
