Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. Played it on a monochrome green EGA monitor. The "copy protection," such as it was, asked us who Richard Nixon's running mate was and we didn't know enough English at the time to comprehend. After trial and error, managed to get into the game and didn't have a flaming clue what we were doing. A ripping good time, it was.

Oh man, that game was an experience. My friends and I had to discover everything through trial and error. I remember laughing so hard when we clogged the toilet in the bathroom and drowned haha

I went on to play all seven (well, technically 6: see here) and the two reboots by a German studio that came out a year or two ago. Al Lowe's is a master of the lampoon style of humor
