@Tijn @DigiAntiquarian That was a very entertaining episode! Going back and forth between gameplay and the backstory made it really interesting. I never thought I'd listen to all of the almost 4h, but in the end I did! :-)

If you set up an account, you can get a load of old Apogee Software and 3D Realms games for free, buy a copy of Megarace that's actually been packaged for Linux (although I presume you know how to use DOSBox yourself), and even buy a copy of Steve Meretzky's The Space Bar, which I don't think is currently on GOG or Steam.
