It sounds silly but I think this still from the X-Fools CDRom game actually had a huge impact on my career.

I want to assure people that, unlike the Russian super app Max, I do not collect data and cannot be exploited by the state.

Tfw you're operating an illicit network of cellsites that can crash city-wide communications but you also need to party.

I'm trying to find a toy I only have the vaguest memories of. It's from sometime in the late 80s to very early 90s. It was handheld and used cards that were inserted and served as the interface. It looked like a Speak n' Spell but seems more akin to the Show n' Learn pictured here. I don't think it was the Texas Instruments Learn N' Discover or the Vtech equivalent.

Any suggestions?
