The game was unofficially ported to DOS by Gary Thompson in the late 1980s and distributed as shareware on Compuserve.[5]
Version 2.2 of the DOS port was officially included in Sierra's 1994 Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits and Misses!, as well as subsequent Larry collections.[5]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to <path-to-game>/cloud_saves/ even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
