TLDR: I went down memory lane and wrote a bit about almost every video game that I've played in my childhood/ schooldays (ca. 1994 - 2008). Lots of screenshots and download-links included. Enjoy! :-) PS: Click on images to get the color version. Introduction Personal computers came up in our family around 1994 and DOS games were among the first things we explored on them.

Also, when a colleague first wanted to show me WSL, a Microsoft account wasβ¦

It should work with other types of meat and even seafood.β¦
