        I remember Compaq had a commercial game pack that you were supposed to call in to pay for, but the password was just 11111111.

                    Wonder Boy in Monster Land on the sega master system.

                    I'm frustrated I can't seem to find a place to buy it for pc easily. (Admittedly it's not like I'm trying very hard since I'm not really interested in tweaking with simulators and stuff.) There was a game with that name in a sega retro thing sold on Steam but it's definitely not the original version. I still know the start by heart.

                        Wanna know a fun fact?

                        The people who made this, Broderbund, made the original Prince of Persia games, the 2D ones.

                                      Gen z here. Animal jam was goated
                                      I remember when they removed shelves from the in game stores so there was just a black market of shelves for no reason

                                      Kingdom Hearts Re-coded is the best game ever and you can't change my mind. I got my dad's cartridge and DSi and it was the BEST.


                                      Ive actually just now gotten around to playing the actual kingdom hearts 1 and OMG I don't know how they managed to make the controls WORSE than a DSi game with like 10 buttons, it's so bad you can't see anything while in combat.
                                      In the DS one you could at least snap the camera to look at the back of your head

                                        I like how if you hadn't put IGI, there's no way to tell if you're talking early 90s or late 2000s

                                          I ran a BBS under DESQview X and it worked flawlessly!
