(yes/no)" If the answer is yes, a pastel-hued skin is automatically selected, and all output is accompanied by text-to-speech using a high-pitched, patronizing voice.

I happen to remember a 40 yo MS-DOS adventure game intended for adult audiences, the very first one of the "Leisure Suit Larry" series, which when executed would first ask the user a number of simple questions which supposedly only an adult would understand or know the answer.

If the user failed to give all correct answers, the game would give a "Shame on you" kind of message for trying to cheat and pass for an adult and would refuse to continue to the game. The questions varied randomly with every attempt at execution so running the program again would ask different questions. I don't know how effective it was but certainly it would bring a smile or two (and a lot of frustration to minors, I reckon).

Regards and have a nice weekend.
