A nostalgic look at what used to happen when you tried typing swear words into text adventures

Theres a lot of websites dedicated to 8 bit gaming about. Some have shots from the game complete screens, whilst others have maps, cheats and interviews with grown men who at one point felt fit to use their mathematical expertise in order to make a worm simulator.
I felt, however, that there was one thing which (as far as I'm aware) has never been celebrated.... swearing on text adventures.
I typed in swear words into as many games on the Spectrum 48k as i could find, and below are the ones which understood - which a pleasing amount did... as, let's face it, the authors knew that most people would try it at some point when they'd gotten frustrated with the distinct lack of fun on offer.

:lol :lol I remember the good old days of doing that type of stuff. I still remember the first time I did it in the game Hugo III: Jungle of Doom, I typed fuck you and it responded "Same to you loser!" nothing that impressive now, but back then, getting insulted back by a game was absolutely amazing!
