Leisure Suit Larry Nipple Slip?
Is it or isn't it? That's the question observers are asking as they debate whether or not a promotional screenshot for Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust [http://www.codemasters.com/games/index.php?gameid=3021] contains the first nipple-slip in the history of videogames.
It's difficult to tell from the darkly-lit screenshot whether it's an odd bit of shadowing at work or if this is in fact a legitimate, albeit digital, peek-a-nippy. It might seem ridiculous - well, who are we kidding, it is ridiculous - but the latest Leisure Suit Larry game looks more like a desperate last gasp by a tired franchise than a potential hit so it needs all the attention-grabbing help it can get. And if we've learned one thing over the years, it's that nothing gets headlines like surprise boobs.
Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_Suit_Larry], the first Larry game made without original creator Al Lowe, but it sold poorly.
Box Office Bust is, unsurprisingly, far more risqué than its Al Lowe-created predecessors but given how videogames have changed over the past two decades it's also far less remarkable than those late-80s releases for pushing the envelope. All-out nudity and sex would never fly, of course, but maybe this is Codemasters' [http://www.codemasters.com] way of slipping one in by slipping one out. So the question remains: Is it or isn't it?
