My favorite were the old age verification systems. I remember my dad had the original? Leasure Suit Lary, and you had to prove you were both authentic and of age.
Authentic: enter the 5th word on page 7 of the instructions (easily foiled by a copy machine)
Of Age: who won the 1978 World Series? What is a 6th grader to do there? Phone an uncle? Go to a library or book store? I breakable... Pre internet anyway :)
- flukus 10y agoThere weren't a lot of questions on LSL though, so you could get memorize the right answers with trial and error.
- laksjd 10y agoThe age verification question is a nice reminder of just how incredible the Internet is.

- rangibaby 10y agoTrial and error. I literally memorized the correct answers as a 2nd grader. It's not like there was anything else to do but be bored, hehe
- throwaway7767 10y agoThe best part was how US-centric all the age verification questions were. Questions about US politicians, american football scores etc. Luckily they were all multiple-choice so over time fourteen year old me learned the answers.
