@TheAuthorVivian I hadn't thought of it that way, but it makes sense. Word-of-mouth and gaming magazines were the only way we found out about new games. I didn't have access to BBSs or the Internet until early 90s, when my dad got a modem and AOL.
@TheAuthorVivian I don't doubt it's a real game, but I am wondering if the dev put this in, after the game testers kept breaking the game with stupid entries :)
