Anyone saw the images for Police Quest 2's Japanese port. Sonny's boss look really bizarre...

Right here.

You know what's funny? When those pictures came out, I sent an email to Al lowe asking if there was ever plans for a "japanized" version of Larry. This is his answer:
QuoteYou know, I do remember talk of Japanese versions but I don't remember if any actually shipped. Back then, the Japanese were far behind us in computers. Not consoles, not office machines, but home computers. They basically didn't exist. I remember Ken saying after one of those trips that no there had a computer at home. When he asked, "How do you track your finances?" one guy replied simply, "That's why I have a wife." End of story.

Now imagine an adenture game about a 50-year old man in leisure suit chasing after 13-year old girls in sailor uniforms with his nose bleeding and tentacle hands ready for action. We dodged a bullet there.

So what if I am, huh? Anyways, I work better when I'm drunk. It makes me fearless! If I see a bad guy, I'll just point my sword at him and saaaaaaaaaay, "Hey! Bad guy! You're not s'posed to be here! Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

Sweeeeet! :D

Ah, crap. I just heard from upper management. It turns out we can't do that. You'll have to start a fan project for that, Enchantermon.

How about a harem game? All kind of girls jump you and you have to get rid of them all save for one.
