Doom I and II, Rise of the Triad. Windows 3.1. Anyone else old enough to remember floppy swapping?

    I remember finding Keen Dreams and the original Duke Nukem on 5¼ at a dollar store and having to use my grandma’s old computer to copy them onto 3½. Think I had a 150Mhz Packard Bell running Windows 3.1 at the time. I still think Keen Dreams sucks, I cannot reckon with that game having already played Secret of the Oracle. Original Nukem holds up though, chunky retro fun.

    I also remember getting fitted for my first pair of glasses and then running across the mall to get Space Quest V from a Babbages or some place. I was enthused the whole ride home about how clear I’d be able to see my video games.

    … I was always destined for Lemmy.
