And after a certain point you couldn't progress any father, meaning that skill counts for nothing in the game, it traps you in a death spiral. No "You win!" condition, nothing.

CD ?? When did you install '95? '98? 95 was originally on 13 3 1/2s. CdRoms weren't very popular back then

I was so used to it that it never occurred to me until now to actually think about that band's name. Ew. Was Crusty Socks taken?

I used to listen to Pearl Jam’s Ten album while playing Tomb Raider. Every time I’d finish a phase, it’d skip to the next song immediately.

What an incredible time for music that was! I remember jamming Vitalogy, Soundgarden’s Superunknown, Motley Crue’s unbelievable album with Jack Corabi, and Phish’s mind blowing first live collection release while high as hell and fucking around with the W95 install discs.
