The name, used by official sources and fans, refers to rumors that the reason for the cancellation of the game was the losing of the game's original production [[floppy disks]], after which the developers refused to remake the game from scratch. Other sources claim that it was nothing but an internal office [[prank]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Hardcore Gaming 101: Leisure Suit Larry |url=http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/lsl/lsl3.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140613063251/http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/lsl/lsl3.htm |archive-date=June 13, 2014 |publisher=Hardcore Gaming 101 |access-date=February 2, 2010}}</ref> The franchise's installments were numbered as if this installment had been published; the actual fourth installment was ''Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work''. Al Lowe gave two official reasons for the cancellation of ''Leisure Suit Larry 4''. The first was that Sierra had begun work on a multiplayer installment for [[The Sierra Network]], but the project failed mostly due to technical reasons. The second was that the ending of ''[[Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals|Larry 3]]'' was definitive and somehow [[metafiction]]al, since it showed Larry and Patti coming to the Sierra studios to make games based on their adventures, as well as living happily in a mountain cabin in [[Coarsegold, California|Coarsegold]]. This completed a relatively cohesive trilogy, and was a dead-end for a new story arc. In 2012, Lowe discussed what happened to the fourth installment in a video made for a [[Kickstarter]] project, in which he said that the idea for skipping ''Larry 4'' came as a flippant comment in the office, and became a "real marketing coup" when selling ''Larry 5'' because buyers would immediately ask what happened to the fourth. It became "one of software's big jokes".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzFdJk69opE |title=Fireside Chat, Part 3 |last=Lowe |first=Al |date=April 27, 2012 |publisher=Replay Games Inc. on YouTube |access-date=April 28, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310201615/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzFdJk69opE |archive-date=March 10, 2016}}</ref> According to production notes given by Lowe, the following events must be assumed to have happened between ''Larry 3'' and ''Larry 5'' to connect the two games: Larry and Patti plan to marry; Patti leaves him at a Yosemite church to pursue her career, but Larry is gone when she returns; the villain of ''Larry 5'', Julius Biggs, somehow steals the game disks and Larry suffers amnesia. The absence of the floppy disks was introduced as a plot element in the sequel to explain how Larry, as a computer generated character, came to suffer from amnesia. ''Larry 4'' appears in several of the other games in the series, including being played in ''Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude''. ''Leisure Suit Larry: Love For Sale Mobile'' takes place during the ''Larry 4'' development years, and a subplot for the best ending requires finding the lost disks.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Kohler |first1=Chris |title=Leisure Suit Larry Goes Mobile, Strikes Out |url=https://www.wired.com/2008/03/impressions-lei/ |magazine=Wired |access-date=November 30, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208065809/http://www.wired.com/2008/03/impressions-lei/ |archive-date=December 8, 2015}}</ref> A folder named LSL4 could be found on the CD of ''Leisure Suit Larry Collection'' in which Al Lowe left a note in a readme file referencing the game and concluding "who says sequels have to be done sequentially?". ''[[MAD Magazine]]'' proposed what ''Leisure Suit Larry 4'' might have looked like in a 1990 issue spoofing video games. Their idea was "the after effect of Larry's screwing around with the time coming for Larry having to pay the piper." They proposed the idea of Larry in a maze game similar to ''[[Berzerk (video game)|Berzerk]]'', where he must steer clear of out-of-wedlock pregnancies he has caused, as well as private investigators, case workers and angry fathers wielding shotguns, making it extremely difficult for Larry to continue his infamous carefree attitude towards casual sex. On April 1, 2009, the [[abandonware]] site [[Abandonia]] released an alleged "leaked copy" for download. This turned out in fact to be an elaborate [[April Fools' Day]] prank: the screenshots were fakes, the review was fictional, and the "game" archive actually contained 55 identical copies of scanned front casing of ''Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust''. The game is a part of the plot of ''[[Space Quest 4: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers]]'', another Sierra title. In the game, LSL4 is labeled as the cause of a supercomputer virus that crippled Roger's home planet Xenon. The fourth part is also considered as the remake of the first game, since it is included in the compilations together with the regular games and was released between the third and fifth part.<ref>{{cite news |title=Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits and Misses!

Like the canned ''[[Space Quest]]'' sequel, ''Larry 8'' was to feature [[3D computer graphics]], but no more than a few test renders now survive.<ref>[http://allowe.com/larry/history-of-larry/is-mcl-larry-8.html Leisure Suit Larry 8<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040204083617/http://www.allowe.com/Larry/8.htm |date=February 4, 2004 }}</ref> The game ''Leisure Suit Larry: Explores Uranus'', as well as its teaser, was referenced in ''Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!'' triggered with an Easter egg, as well as a teaser after completing the game. In 2013, Al Lowe pointed out that this title is still being considered, with support from series co-writer Josh Mandel. Lowe stated that even though he would like to complete the ''Reloaded'' series first, ''Leisure Suit Larry 8'' is "absolutely" still in the works.<ref name="digitaltrends" /> ====''Leisure Suit Larry: Pocket Party''==== ''Leisure Suit Larry: Pocket Party'' was a canceled game meant to be released in the second half of 2005 for the [[N-Gage (device)|N-Gage]]. The publishers were Vivendi and [[Nokia]], while the developer was TKO-Software.<ref name=gamespy /> In the game, players would explore a 3D college campus, while solving puzzles and engaging in risque activities. As they search for the ultimate good time, gamers bump into Rosie Palmer, the head cheerleader at Larry's college. Attempting to win over Rosie's heart, Larry is thoroughly embarrassed by her jock boyfriend Chuck Rockwell, but humiliation has never stopped Larry before and he is determined to do anything to be with Rosie.<ref name="GameZone; Pocket Party">{{cite web |url=https://ngage.gamezone.com/gamesell/p24556.htm |title=Leisure Suit Larry: Pocket Party |publisher=GameZone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011122642/http://ngage.gamezone.com/gamesell/p24556.htm |archive-date=October 11, 2007 |access-date=October 1, 2014}}</ref> In addition to singleplayer game play, players could also wirelessly battle an opponent in four different turn-based mini-games.<ref name=gamespy>[http://wireless.gamespy.com/n-gage/leisure-suit-larry-pocket-party/ GameSpy] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120808171610/http://wireless.gamespy.com/n-gage/leisure-suit-larry-pocket-party/ |date=August 8, 2012 }}</ref> Concept art and design document of the game are in hands of Jody Hicks, one of the game's developers.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hicks |first=Jody |url=https://twitter.com/Uncle_Jody/status/1004041845377126404 |title=One of these days I'll release the design document for the unreleased Leisure Suit Larry : Pocket Party game for the N-Gage.

This new game was being developed for the PC, PS2, Xbox and PSP systems, but has since been canceled.
