    I miss Leisure Suit Larry’s age verification. Didn’t work then either but at least you ended up learning some interesting trivia.

          “Peter piper picked pickled peppers” seems weird to me as an age verification, but maybe that’s because the game is old?

          Was this actually an age gate, or was it a form of copy protection where the answers are in the printed manual?

        It was an old ‘kings quest’ style adventure game featuring ‘adult’ content, though I don’t think it was much past PG-13 really. You had to answer a series of trivia questions to play that were supposed to be things only an adult would probably know. I remember some questions like “What is Havarti: Cheese, A Country, Species of Fish”.
