OK, here’s all mine: _They’ll bury you in a lunchbox._ Rise of the Triad - correctly answered by **Tentacle Monster**. (One of the all-time greatest network games - way ahead of its time) _RISE from your grave, and rescue my daughter._ Altered Beast - correctly answered first by **Max Carnage**. _I live…again…_. Blood. Correctly answered by **Revtim** _I’m bad!_ Bad Dudes. Suprisingly not answered by **HPL** , who got the more difficult “President Ronnie” line from the same game. _The pirates laugh, Har! Har! Har!_ (I thought I might be going too far with this one): Scepters. Late 80’s adventure game for the Mac. _Let’s go, Mr. Driver!_ Chase HQ. Correctly answered by **silverfish** _I’m very proud of my breasts. Would you like to touch them?_ Really surprised nobody got this one. MacPlaymate. _“Unit on scene.”_ Emergency 2. Great game. _Do you want to wash Wang or do you want to watch Wang wash Wang?_ Shadow Warrior. Correctly answered by **BayleDomon**. ---
