Al Lowe is an American software developer who started making games in the early eighties. His is mostly known for the Leisure Suit Larry games, created with Sierra, but he is also a musical man who loves playing his sax and still plays with his model trains. He has also created lots of other games for Sierra, not only the Larry series.

I was subscribed to Al Lowe's CyberJoke mailing list for years. His jokes every morning made my day. Too bad it was discontinued end of 2024.

I played Donald Ducks Playground a LOT as a kid on my C64.

I was extremely surprised decades later when I booted it up after such a long time to read his name on the screen!

Thank you Al!! You are a treasure!
