Evidence I have:

1.) I think a documentary said the discs were lost. I assumed this was a
joke.

2.) I was told that Al Lowe said he would never make a larry 4, so when he
did make a sequel he called it larry 5.

3.) In the following message; read what the poster said under larry 4: This
seems to coincide with point 1.)

He can't be joking as it isn't funny enough to be a joke. Which of these
explanations is true?

First of all: The second choice is true. However you might consider asking
Richard about the disks! ;-)

Oh no, it was merely a multiplayer adventure game.  Take a look at 
http://www.allowe.com/L-4.htm

After LSL3, Al Lowe didn't want to do any more LSL games (he was
probably sick of doing the same type of game over and over again) so
he said that he would not make a Larry 4.  When they found out it was
a lucrative series, and he had to go  back and make some more, he
couldn't go back on his word, could he.

Aparently, you haven't played the LSL games, have you?  Welcome to
Al Lowe's sense of Humor.  (Actually, I found it funnier than most
of his humor, perhaps thats the reason for your confusion? ;-))

There was no LSL4.

There ws a satire product, called The Laffer Utilities, which 
was a stire of all those desktop products (ie, calender, writing
program and other humorized utilities for Win 3.1).  It came out
as version 4.0 as a joke.  But there is no LSL4.
