On the more humorous side they could have implemented an age check similar to the one from Leisure Suit Larry.

Although the questions were a lot harder back in 1991 when the Internet was not at your disposal.

I had to solve these questions back in 95-96 (when I was 15) after buying these games used from a pawn shop. I used various sources from multiple BBS's and teachers at my high school.

Tbh I think this sort of thinng would be harder today, if you took away the internet "for a night", because pop culture is now much more fragmented than it was back then.
