Yah. Reminds me of my recent attempt with Space Quest IV. I remembered
the initial duracell bunny puzzle but after that, no idea. And there are killer bots flying around, ready to vaporize you, so not really a very interesting situation.

Same. I laughed at catching the bunny trap part. Wait a minute.
Duracell? I never knew that existed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duracell_Bunny. I always remember
Engerizer's. SQ4 used Energizer's bunny: https://spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/Energizer_Bunny.

https://spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/EverWiser_Bunnus was interesting.

Space Quest V was a lot better. Better graphics too.

"Full Throttle" did a similar puzzle... then you used the bunnies to
blow up a bunch of land mines.

Lots of killing bunnies in computer games like in the end of original DOOM's ep. 3!

The Death of Daisy the Rabbit is a crime that will never be forgiven!
The Hell-Spawn will forever pay for their deeds!

(oh, the invasion of Earth and subsequent murder of billions of humans
was a bit naughty too).

But, yeah, video games sure seem to have it out for the lagomorphs.
Remember how much fun it was to kill the bunnies in "Shadow Warrior"?

Ha! I remember the rabbits mating too!

Or that vile anti-rabbit filth that was "Space Bunnies Must Die"?
Truly, video-gamers have it in for our floppy-eared friends! ;-)

I never played that one!

(somebody needs to make a list of video games where you can kill the rabbits.)

We need more good ant games. :P

Remember Jazz Jackrabbit from old Epic MegaGames? I remember playing its shareware on my IBM PS/2 model 30 286 10 Mhz PC back then. Poor Jazz
kept dying from me. ;)

I blame Monty Python and that Looney Tunes episode with Elmer Fudd
singing "Kill the Wabbit!" to the tune of Flight of the Valkyries.
