Reminds me of the age verification in Larry 1. You had to answer some pretty hard trivia questions.

And you didn’t have a search engine at your disposal then. I had to get hold of the purity test from Usenet to understand some of the stuff in LSL.

My friends Dad had this game back when I was a youngster. For the longest time we thought the trivia was the game.

I downloaded a DOS game a few years back that had security questions like:

  • Who is the shortstop for this 1978 World Series Team?
  • What was this actor's favorite lunch while on the set of this 1979 film?
  • What is the name of this politician who made an appearance on this 1984 sitcom?

Sounds like what I remember from Larry.
