About the game
It plays like Sierra's other adventures, typing commands and walking Larry around, but the jokes, double meanings and narrator's comments are the real stars.
Famously, it opened with a quiz of trivia questions that teenagers were not supposed to know the answers to, as an age check.
History
Written by Al Lowe and released by Sierra On-Line in 1987. It was a slow seller at first, then became one of the best-known computer games of its time.
The series ran through the 1990s, and a remake with new graphics and point-and-click controls came out in 1991.
