     Also the compilation videos of MS-DOS games from 1993 I've made are turning TEN years old. 🤷♂️

     @leilei Yeah, the readme that came with the first release says 12/27/93 (although the file date is 12/28), unpacked files are from 12/21, so it probably didn't hit the stores in time, BUT they did advertise it in October & November magazines with this ad

     @dosnostalgic Simcity2000 is kind of on the edge of 1994 (iirc the initial build date was 5 days away) so that'll be a while

     Other '93 DOS notables are Strike Commander, Shadow Caster, and.... The Lawnmower Man. 16 color cgi ass cam turning 30 soon

     @dosnostalgic ah gosh, i guess that also means the class of 98 is turning 25 this year. i'm not ready for that to be a quarter-century ago.

     @dosnostalgic I’m afraid these are too new-fangled for me. I was into Space Invaders.

     @dosnostalgic @jbigham Day of the Tentacle! Space Quest! Those point-and-click adventure games were my jam, and part of what for me into programming.
