I just remember getting more of a feeling that here or there was a missed opportunity to include a funny throwaway line when playing the CD version. So I was wondering if my memory is just playing tricks or if this reaction is based on there actually being more content in the floppy version.

Re: Larry 6 hi and low res
Could anyone tell me if lines were cut for the CD version as happened with Freddy Pharkas? In other words, does the original floppy version have more text content? I have played both from beginning to end, but the floppy was a long, long time ago. When I was a kid.

In my recollection there were. I can check it up with SCI viewer to be sure.

If you like! I have SCI Viewer myself but haven't looked into this...

It's going to require more research than the superficial browse I just did (and that means check by playing too!), but so far it's been interesting:
On the floppy version you can find outlines of scenes that were removed for the CD version: CD doesnt seem to have superfluous files.
Differences are few in the two files I compared (205: in hotel hallway, and 210: Gammie). Occasionally line orders have swapped. In 210 I found no differences.
On the 205 floppy, I found the following line that's not on the CD 205:
"I wonder if I were to whisper into this window frame, then ran all the way down the hall and held my ear against the frame way down there, if I could hear my own voice echo?"
Also interesting: both copies contain the death I was unable to find in the game: the one you get at the wooden fence.
