Before Larry gets anywhere near Lost Wages, the original 1987 game makes you prove you're an adult with a quiz about American pop culture. It was meant to keep kids out, and in 1987 it mostly did. Today it mostly keeps out anyone born after 1970. Think you'd pass?
There are three official versions of Larry's first night in Lost Wages: the 1987 original, the 1991 VGA remake and Reloaded from 2013. Same story, same puzzles, very different games to play. Here's how they compare.
