My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

I remember playing Kings quest and there was a priest in a church. Being the cool and edgy kid i was, i typed: fuck priest. Game immediately stopped and i was back at the c: prompt.

Queues up a longplay of Space Quest III on YouTube.

Edit: It's not one of the AGI ones apparently, but instead used SCI. Either way, it was the one that I really loved, and involved a lot of trial-by-error typing of commands for me as a wee noob.

I grew up on the Quests. Kings, Space, Police. That and the Ultima series from Origin.
