Leisure Suit Larry V: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work

Meanwhile we find Patti once again playing piano in a sleazy club, the Piano Pit. When the manager fires her and refuses to pay her wage, she wants to get back at all those crooks running the music business. Her opportunity to do so suddenly appears - Inspector Desmond of the FBI finds Patti and invites her to participate in an undercover operation. Patti's mission: as the FBI knows organized crime is influencing the entertainment industry, Patti has to infiltrate des Revers Records and K-Rap Studios and gather enough evidence for the FBI to convict the guilty parties. If she succeeds, she may even play at a dinner in the White House. As each go to own path, how big is the chance these two love birds will ever see each other again? Non-existent, right? Right?

Designer and director Al Lowe had some difficulties finding a new plot for the Leisure Suit Larry series after Larry 3, since initially Leisure Suit Larry was intended to be a trilogy (with exception of Sierra's trademark King's Quest series, many sequels were not strongly supported in those days, with the aim not to jeopardize creativity by the designers, a concept major game publishers these days are not too acquainted with). With Larry 3's ending being securely tight off, Al Lowe then came up with the idea to skip Larry 4 altogether and create Larry 5.
