I spent more time with Police Quest, which was similar. I remember trying the Hugo Jungle Shareware multiple times and getting frustrated going back-and-forth, stuck.

You must be one of the snarky versions of me. 🙄

I wouldn’t be surprised. I like this one where the guy reproduces an entire functional/usable physical camera within Blender.

Psshht, mine’s bigger.

Knowing me, I probably would.

Probably Rise of the Triad.

Pretty sure I even bought the full game and never ended up getting very far. I also remember spending a little chunk of time on Hugo 3: Jungle of Doom, but could never figure it out enough to progress very far.

Edit: Another one I was trying to recall, the name was H.U.R.L.

How about just:

Brave: We’re not!

The massive, non-stop orgy is precisely the part I’m dreading.

It’s such a crazy throwback. Mine came bundled with Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia and Prize Fighter for Sega CD , I believe. Or maybe I got Prize Fighter separately. Also how I discovered the Spin Doctors song “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong,” because it also had a karaoke feature. And, yes, Christmas morning exactly.

During Covid, I had to sell a childhood treasure: my JVC X’EYE, still complete with original controller and power supply, fully functional.

But the shop owner did right by me, cleaned up my old discs, and we went through them one by one before I left, as he’d never seen one in person, either.

My favorite part is that it was the cheap, knock-off alternative when I was a kid, but now it’s crazy valuable because it was so rare.

I like to imagine that every time they open the big test tube/canister thing, it’s a totally different animal, but woolly.

I was just thinking earlier today: I really, really hope someone is backing up the Library of Congress’ stuff, particularly Chronicling America, which has almost every newspaper issue (searchable by text and much more) from 1756 - 1963. Like archive.org – federal edition, sort of.

Anyway, given how fascists love to erase history, it’s precisely the kind of thing I could see them targeting. Particularly if you wanted to erase the fact that, oh, I don’t know, your father Fred Trump was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1927. That kinda thing.

This and Fable 2 for me. “Plant a tree, come back years later, it’s grown!”

Brother sucks now!?

Truly, this is the canary in the coal mine moment.

Could’ve gone with The Hunger Games, but okay. I volunteer regardless.

My trusty bag, basically a small/medium duffel bag I can wear over my shoulder or carry. When I’ve traveled (been so long, I miss it), that holds everything. It makes travel so nice. I just carry it on the plane, shove it under my seat. One thing to worry about. No hauling luggage, no waiting for baggage claim (mostly). A single pocket for my passport. Just one bag.

Does it cause any issues with airport security?

Yes, perfect, thank you!
