Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

I remember playing LSL in the land of the lounge lizards on my pre computer mouse existed way back in the day. Great game. Hard to cross the street.

I heard this is supposed to be the best Larry game, is that true? I only played the first one (well, the remake) but this is pretty cheap on GOG sometimes. Worth playing?

If you're fine with classic "point and click" gameplay and the adult themes (it's actually pretty tame by modern standards), I would definitely check it out.

It's well made and I thought the writing is good for what it is.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I might check it out if it comes on sale. The first one already had some pretty... unintuitive puzzles, but that is basically just par for the course for the time period.

The seven is very advanced compared to the first one at least.

When I was a kid I remberer thinking of 7 as a modern game and the old ones, as well, old. But since the first came out in 87, and this would've been in like 97 or 98 or 99, it would've been pretty accurate.

Now they're obviously all old but there's quite a difference between 87 and 96 in gaming. More than the difference between 2025 and 2016, easily.

Yeah. First one didn't even have point and click. You typed out what you wanted Larry to do, because there was no mouse.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I tried that once maybe, but there was a remake of the first one in like 95 or 96, same year or before than 7 I think. Or perhaps two or three years Idk.

I just remember that the "3rd one" was "the crappiest looking one" for some reason. Hmm I wonder what 2 even was. And 4th was famously lost, right?

Man I had a hard time getting through those adult quiz filters as kid who barely understood some English. But the horniness for digital boobies or even innuendo was strong. Just strong forced it basically if I didn't understand the question or the context.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah. Even that first original one had the danged adult test. Lol

Counterpoint: Not wearing a suit, at least in the first photo

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s a swim suit.

Swimming is a form of leisure.

Ergo … leisure suit

Your logic is undeniable

I'm a absolute sucker for stockings and heels so I'm going to go with the UK cover
