I’m not gonna gatekeep, but was it on a floppy drive? We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.
I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.
We didn’t even get into the 14.4 modem sounds it took to see a webpage.
Edit: Oops I meant 5.25”, but TIL apparently actually 5.1”. Fun fact I learned back in college, is that CDRs fit into 5.25” floppies if you cut a slit and remove the disc.
Ah; you have a fair point, there. I’ve never used a 5.24". I actually didn’t know it was released on those.

Haha; I know I’m biased since, as a developer and someone interested in computers, I’m also more aware (even if I’ve never used) of older tech. but it is incredible just how much things have changed.
