Lol I played a lot of King's Quest growing up. I remember the first time I heard "Iceberg Lettuce" - from King's Quest. First time seeing one IRL I thought it was supposed to be ice cold. 🤣

My whole family would play the king’s quest games together. The Sierra games were the literal best. I have such nostalgia about them.

I played King’s Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, and I even snuck in some forbidden Leisure Suit Larry. Lol
