Some of my favorite memories were waking up early on saturday morning and playing the various space quest adventures with my dad.  Loved those games.  (also did king quest, but never got into police quest for some reason)  And obviously leaisure suit larry was off-limits until I was able to guess the answers to the adult questions

Dave M day 1

Hi folks

Already time for another LL, they come around so fast. Our new rundle name has me reminiscing about late 1980s and early 1990s quest games. Hopefully we get a couple of questions along those lines one day.

A poor 2/6 to start.

1 :) I wrote both Coffee and Espresso. D1
2 :( No idea. Never heard of Felt so don't feel so bad about it. D1 becuase this is reasonably common US knowledge right?
3 :( Was confident on Amino Acids (which is a reasonably common wrong answer for me as it happens. D2
4 :) Could only be Beirut with the location and the French. Risky D3 as opponent's worst category is Geography.
5 :( Nope. D2
6 :( This seems really obscure to me. D2

Ben Day 1

@$%#%^&

1/6

1 :) Coffee.  This I knew.

2 :( I knew I would never remember the name, so I just guessed Woodward

3 :( I wrote Vitamins (Essential).  CLose but no cigar

4 :( Argh. I went back and forther in my head a few times before deciding this was Beirut. For some reason I wrote Lebanon. A real kick in the guts.

5 :( I guessed gladys Knight

6 :( I guessed Gumshoe. Never heard of this. Should have D3ed.

This was a guess, but there aren't too many major cities on the East Coast of the Med. Mixture of french and arabic helped of course.
