Players control Larry's movements with the directional keys and by imputing commands into a text parser (ex: 'talk to man', 'open window', etc). The time limit can be circumvented by speaking to a prostitute (see below).

Players are given 2 real-time hours to complete the game, at which point a despairing Larry commits suicide, resulting in game over. The game begins outside a bar in Lost Wages (a parody of Las Vegas). 'Lefty's Bar', the opening scene of the game. The story, certain characters, and basic structure of the game are lifted from Softporn Adventure, an 1981 Apple II text adventure. Land of the Lounge Lizards establishes several elements which recur in later games, including Larry's out-of-date attire, perpetually bad luck with women, and penchant for double-entendres. Set in the fictional city of Lost Wages, the story follows a middle-aged virgin named Larry Laffer who resolves to sleep with a woman before midnight. In 1991, Sierra released a remake that used the Sierra's Creative Interpreter (SCI) engine with 256 colors and icon-driven (as opposed to text-based) interface. Originally developed for DOS and the Apple II, it was later ported to other platforms such as the Amiga, Atari ST, Apple II GS and the TRS-80 Color Computer. It utilizes the Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine made famous by King's Quest: Quest for the Crown. It was a completely graphical adventure game with 16 color Tandy/ EGA graphics (this version is often referred to as the EGA version including in the Collections, though there is an EGA version of the SCI remake as well). It is a remake of Chuck Benton's text adventure game, Softporn Adventure and the first part of the Leisure Suit Larry series.
