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”.
Never played it. Can you explain a bit more? You got me curious.
Never played it either. Looks like it asked random trivia questions that I guess kids wouldn’t know.

“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?

That verification really did put a hurdle in front of kids back in the pre-internet era.
…and adults outside USA who don’t know shit about baseball trivia or comedians famous in West Wisconsin City.
Lol, top tier security there.
It was a legitimate challenge if you didn’t have an encyclopedia set handy.
