Those were happy times for me too - the only worries I had were related to exams, but I always managed to nail them, even when I goofed off so much. Up until that point I was pretty conservative about my DOS gaming - I played stuff directly under Win XP. It works fine most of the time, except that there can be no sound. When I finally decided to try out this "DOSBox" thing that I had heard about from several people on the forums, it was like a mightly blast of nostalgia and all those childhood memories came flooding in. Suddenly, I could play many things that had seemingly passed beyond the veil and were considered "lost forever". And the mounting capabilities made things much easier with certain titles.

That's the weird thing about nostalgia - I remember the hardships, and yet I still remember these times fondly. Imagine spending a whole evening trying to get a mouse driver to work properly - this happened. And it's one of those childhood memories embedded in my mind among the whirlwind of other vague images and sounds. Oh, and don't even get me started on our first CD-ROM drive... and how it messed up the entire operating system, to the point it was almost dead. And the DOS era viruses? These things were pure evil. At some point at the very end of the 1990's there was even a virus that could damage your BIOS... imagine that.

I can agree it's a flaw - and I am fairly sure Lucasarts realized this too, considering the changes they made in the sequel (saying more would be a spoiler). And this is why I'd do a few "90% completionist" playthroughs - characters that have skipped this thing, but have otherwise beaten everything else in the game. But I do intend to make another 100% playthrough, on my new PC.

Yeah, I know this is how you are... it can be seen in pretty much all videos you make. Completionism is something I respect in a gamer. I usually try to play like this too, but I can make exceptions too, for the sake of fun. Heh, I was pretty surprised that you really went through the whole Therion discography - something even I haven't done, even though I generally tend to like them.

Webcomics are my other addiction, after gaming...
