I remember asking my friends older brother for some answers, he was all for us playing the game, and he didn't know some of the answers, and he was of age, so I guess that feature also kept stupid people from playing too *L* Too funny, I have the same Leisure Suits Larry memories.

I have an older sister who I refer to as a MySpace addict, and I\'ve been clicking through friends profile\'s and such. Not only are people absoluteley out of control, they use profanity and sexually explicit terms (5:42:30 PM) V: it\'s true (5:43:30 PM) shantanubala: and none of this is filtered, blocked, or even censored. You don\'t even need an account to look at these profiles. I think that is absurd. (5:43:55 PM) V: so how do you think they could change it? (5:45:28 PM) shantanubala: leisure suit larry is an example, but atleast make people register, so they \"confirm\" they are fourteen (5:46:15 PM) shantanubala: Or have some sort of javascript warning when viewing a profile that is profane (5:47:23 PM) shantanubala: but honestly, there\'s no way to truly fix the issue, but the main thing is adults paying attention to what their kids are surfing. It\'s called browser history (5:47:58 PM) V: so you think parents should check what their kids have been surfing? (5:48:29 PM) shantanubala: definately (5:48:44 PM) shantanubala: not only that, but have filteres to block myspace (5:50:26 PM) V: so you don\'t think the responsibility lies with the websites (5:51:23 PM) shantanubala: it does, but what can they do? If they block all profane content, The teenage wasteland will just be a bunch of inactive accounts. (5:42:10 PM) shantanubala: MySpace has a lot more questionable content than one could imagine.

I mean, pixelated female anatomy isn't really that hot. ESPECIALLY if you were old enough like me to have the CGA version of Leisure Suit Larry. Leisure Suit Larry 4 was by far the BEST LSL ever! I miss Sierra. I wish they'd come back and be a dominant force in the gaming market again. King's Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest! Gotta love it. Is Leisure Suit Larry really porn?

They only do it so angry parents don't sue them. Duh! What’s funny is that you can put your age as 99 years old on MySpace.

I always assumed they were in place just so the website can cover their ass legally ("We have a system in place to prevent minors from accessing our content... granted its a shitty system, but then so was Communism...") It really irks me when videogame sites are "protected" by this type of system (cause its annoying and gets in the way, and half the time its done in Flash, wtf). Like any kid who has ever touched a video game controller wouldn't be able (or inclined) to quickly defeat the "clever" age verification system. Yea, those systems are lame.

I can't remember how, but one time I figured out the shortcut to skip the quiz.. I think it was Ctrl-X or something similar. I do actually remember when I was about.. 5 or 6 and remember asking my babysitter how to spell "hooker" (to tell the taxi driver where to go) and she refused. I might have got mad about it.
