    We were trying to load up Leisure Suit Larry from 5.25" floppy on my friend’s dad’s IBM PC before he noticed we were in his office downstairs.

      I had a hard time getting past that game’s age verification, which consisted of trivia questions an 18-year-old American should know, because I was a 6-year-old German.

      But I just systematically tried out all combinations (taking notes) until it launched. And I beat the game, learning the first basics of English that way.
      So yeah, some of the first English words I learned were “preservative”, “hooker” and “Spanish Fly”.

        I’m pretty sure he had that as well, funny thing is he was a strict Lutheran man, but he had this computer full of lewd games and drove a Corvette, no big shock that it came out later he was unfaithful. Proto-MAGA.
