I don't recall the publisher of Leisure Suit Larry, which had two sequels, nor do I remember the full title—perhaps it was something like "Leisure Suit Larry: Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places." It seems the publisher might have been Sierra, and the game featured some funny situations (like flushing the toilet in a bar's men's room). I wish they could create more humorous, mostly non-violent games such as Leisure Suit Larry or the NOLF series again.

For the same reason, there isn't much good comedy left. Picture a studio being canceled today if it tried to be so politically wrong these days? No laughter is permitted. Yet, violence appears to be acceptable.

I'm not certain if this serves as a good illustration for reintroducing humor in games, nor am I confident its values fit well across the political spectrum. Was it truly sexist?

Pitch please!
There were like 5 "classic" larry games, they got up to 6 but 4 was the "lost floppies" they just skipped that.
Then there was a kinda arcady console version of larry called magna cum laude.
Also larry got a new game released just a couple of years ago, it's the second game in the new era, the rights got bought by germans and they made two new games.
Wet dreams don't die
and
wet dreams dry twice
Other than that, yeah, what the above said, people can't be funny anymore without everybody being offended.

How extreme can a pixelated VGA game be? Twerking music videos are significantly more sexist than any Leisure Suit Larry title.

These aren't sold, and even if they were, the profits wouldn't be sufficient for a company to invest in their growth.

There was a question about the location of Carmen Sandiego 6 in the game. The version known as the lost floppies release was #4 and it was never released. I don't use Steam since I'm not a gamer, but I did check stream support versions, including "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?"
