Roger Wilco Wins!
Score for the record:-
Roger Wilco :12
Larry Laffer :08
———————————————-
Roger Laffer Vs Larry Wilco 
Both share many things in common:-
1-They both have six parts adventures released at the time period between 1987-1996.
2-They both been designed under/by Sierra and mainly by three designers; Al, Scott and Mark, whom had worked together into those two titles, and though Al was only/always remembered/credited for Larry’s games, he had his share with Space Quests, but Mark had the biggest share of working for both IPs more than Scott or Al.
3-They are the main humor tags of Sierra, though Space Quests never reached/was-known-to the humor level of Larry’s games, but for me I see that ‘differently’ Space Quest was always more funny than LSL adventures, IMO.
4-They both seem to have same idea of characteristics; being so dumb and its always up to fate to work in their favors, and create those heroic acts, and achievements at the end.

Voting is much about whom is your favor character, but ‘I guess’ its hard to wish it (the voting) could be done separate/away from involving IPs or the Devs behind them; Al and The Two Guys, as anyone with-no-doubt will get affected by his/her amount of love/admiration for both of the series ‘as whole’, so anyways, let be it .

Larry all the way. I’ve never been a big fan of Space Quest.
Roger, of course
seriously, I think this match will be hard to predict, not as the other two previous ones, were I had an idea which was ‘somehow’ gonna get ahead.
Larry all the way. 
I quite like the Larry series, but I absolutely hate the Space Quest series. That first game scarred me for life and I wouldn’t touch the rest with a ten foot pole…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

But you never tried the others? You can’t say you hate the series if only played the first one.
And it’s characters the comparison here, right? Roger is the ultimate anti-hero from adventure games 
/Space Quest defense force
I prefer Larry. This is going to be one close contest.
Larry, Larry! It goes both for the characters and their respected series.

Indeed!, that makes me think we need to set a dead line from now, I think a-week/8-days would be it, until next Saturday-20th-December.
Uh and Btw I voted for Roger, guess it could be very obvious
This is an impossible choice. IMHO both series represent the weakest in terms of foundation of all games produced by Sierra. But both series had at least one very good installment, represented by Larry 7 and Space Quest 5.
So which to choose? I’ll shift slightly to Space Quest, just because of Gary Owens.
The problem with Larry is that he isn’t much of a character at all. Does he have any positives to him, or has Al Lowe just written a list of attributes falling under the category of ‘loser’?
Okay, Roger wasn’t a knight in shining armour either, but he had motivations larger than ‘women, sex, money’.
Hmmm to me it is Roger who lacks character. He is like a running gag without distinctive features who always relies on pure luck and nothing else. Larry’s motivations are always clear, and those seduction schemes he comes up with sometimes are quite smart. But I think I prefer both narrators to both characters
PC means personal computer
I think I’m landing more towards Larry than Roger. I love them both, Space Quest 1 and LSL1 are some of my fondest gaming memories from growing up, but all in all, Larry have made a bigger impression on me than Roger has. Larry’s character, IMO, is a little better thought out, and easier to get into. Still, I’m having a hard time choosing between the two.

Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.
9(Roger) to 8(Larry)!
hmm, so it seems that its going to stay this way?, and sealed up by Martin Gantefoehr’s 9th point given (and the last so far) to Roger !?.
I voted Roger, but reading the replies made me reflect and realize that I agree that he’s a much less defined character.
Space Quest was definitely the series that was more funny to me, though.
another 24hours to seal up this vote too, and btw about new cages matches I think I will rather wait until the BAG tournament is over, at least to not to divert attention of this important event. Until then, then.
