Maybe my stream tomorrow will just be exploring old edutainment games.

IDK what else should I install?

#retro #gaming #win98

IDK can I fit the LARGE INSTALL of 17 MEGABYTES???
Using the pro strats of just guessing the IRQ and shit for the sound setup cuz I still don't know how this works.
lol oops
OK how's this? 😎
@Moosader Lenny's Music Toons! I used to have that
@nash Yeah! That's surprising cuz I never hear anyone talk about it but that was a game I played a lot of as a kiddo
@Moosader I'm more of an "Oddballz and SimFarm" kinda person, but Catz and SimEarth isn't bad!
@indigoparadox I had the thick SimEarth manual and I'd spend time just looking through that thing, the game was so obtuse from my memory lol.
@Moosader The SimEarth manual was a banger! The Maxis manuals were great in general, with lots of related textbook info and citations. I scanned my copy of the SimClassics 2 manual a while back, which includes SimEarth towards the middle: https://archive.org/details/sim-classics-collection-2-manual/mode/2up 😌

@Moosader there is still a free spot 🤣
@dec_hl I need more suggestions! :)
@Moosader AFAIK there has never been any other way. At least this is what I always firmly believed back then.

@Moosader

Dunno. Can you afford 4MiB of RAM? Not many can these days.

@Moosader hits me right in the nostalgia.
@intrepidhero That feeling of having software/games you haven't seen before and curious to try things out. 😌
@Moosader maybe an old CD-ROM based encyclopedia?
@dec_hl I was looking at like the old DK The Way Things Work, I really liked that one as a kid. :3
@Moosader "the way stuff works" was unbelievably cool
@Moosader oh man, Lenny's Music Toons?! That takes me back.
@Moosader You have already died of dystentery.
@Moosader I can't believe you actually found it! This has been quite the journey to follow.
