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).

I remember that well, too. Even though it's more 30 than 40 years ago.

Have a nice weekend, you all.
