Wow, that's pure guesswork for me too: maybe shoes? Or tires (tyres)?

Alright, I think we all know this one?

Perhaps the game that killed SNK? Must not have been very popular, so I'll just throw in the towel.

The game is called Dexterity. Quirky, but the mechanics of the game were solid and offered a lot of variation that kept each round fresh. Here's a playthrough:

No correct answers yet!

It's obviously "Game Boy", it's even written on the side. It was a lot of fun: it featured a boy in a game.

Oh yeah they do look similar. Not arj0n’s project ~ this is indeed a GameBoy title.

I love this game:

So why are we in the basement in the first place?

Yep correct. Your go...

Commander Keen...4? Either that or Keen Dreams.

Cool thanks. Yeah I guess I’ll need to buy a graphics card to up my new rig.

Cool thanks for the info about the dual monitors. I’m going to look into doing that, too.

Hey those options sound OK too, guys. (Sorry for the delayed reply!)

I'll be reaching for a Kirin shortly. I don't think I've had one since we left East Asia many years ago!

Creepiness factor doubled when I realised it had eyes.

Finally starting to dip a bit... $52K now, down from ~$60K

Yeah I remember computer class being great for this sort of thing, too! In the 90s, kids knew light years more about computers/ the internet than adults, so we were constantly getting hacked 'Gamez' as they were called, and setting up really basic terminal chat software onto the computers in our school's lab so we could 'chat' while in computer class (I'm sure IRC was around at this time, but I think ICQ had still not really become a thing). It was a really exciting time because the tech was evolving so quickly. Always some new covert project for junior high kids to be working on.

OP, to answer your question, I have an 8 year old Macbook Pro that was running fine until a year ago when I started some basic gaming on weekends with my son. I also have a work issued Lenovo ThinkPad that I think will survive the apocalypse. Like most, I prefer Apple products for work related stuff (better portable experience, so hitting a coffee shop doesn't slow down productivity) and PC products for gaming.

Nice setup! I'm not a tech guy: what hardware/software makes the dual monitors possible?

I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but tomorrow I'm picking up a used computer (1-2 years old) for around $180 USD. I'm just wondering if I can get a quick thought from someone on the longevity of this machine (it's for mostly light gaming: Minecraft, side-scrollers like Hollow Knight, Braid, etc.):
