Instead of the age confirmation dialog, they should implement an age-captcha, like "identify these musical artists" or "click on all the squares with physical storage media."

c.embarrassed by his first name (Olivia).

d.no one to fool with.

Ooph, that hit home for me. I got that in a bundle with King's Quest and Space Quest(which were both amazingly entertaining at the time) as a pre-teen and just kept going through the questions to learn all the answers. I hadn't heard of Carlsbad Caverns before then and when my wife brought up possibly visiting there this summer, it took me back to that glorious game.
