        A fever dream.

        TBH I’d forgotten this game existed till it was brought up in another thread a long while back. I probably only played like an hour of it out of curiosity, but yeah Space Cadet was my jam. This YouTuber has a pretty interesting vid on the game Purble Place.

        It says “PC exclusive” not " Windows exclusive". Linux PCs are still PCs.

      Windows 7 is 16 years old.

      Classic cars are at least 20 years old but not older than 45 years…

        I mean in software terms it’s ancient. It’s also the last mainstream OS which was popular before phones became the defacto target device of choice for every new software application.
