I tried to run Leisure Suit Larry on my old Leading Edge Model D with its dual, half-height floppy drives, its 640Kb of RAM and its 4.77Mhz 8088 processor. That was back in 1985 or '86. It didn't run. Not at all...


It was released in '87. Maybe that's why it wouldn't run.

I was still in college in '87; it was a long time ago. My memory is about as good as Scooter Libby's anymore. I remember putting the floppy into the drive and typing "nokey" against a black screen to make it go, but it never did. My friends had very similar PCs (we all had pretty much the same thing back then) and it ostensibly worked on theirs. I am still having the same type of problems today-- my present machine won't run the softwares that so many others' will. It boggles my mind...
