Even once we got a local ISP, I couldn't convince them that wasn't going to happen again.

While we're on the subject of obsolete MP3 players, this was my first one: I can't really complain about that thing; sound quality may have been so-so, but it was as sturdy as a brick and still has my favorite shuffle functionality.

The kids at school could never figure out how I had so many Mortal Kombat levels they'd never seen before.

Mak0rz posted:What were some decent 32x games besides Doom: Fart Soundtrack Edition? I remember liking that, Mortal Kombat 2, and Star Wars Arcade in particular. But of course I also liked most of those terrible FMV games, so might have just been an easily-amused child.

Wicker Man posted:Did anyone else play this other bike game and focus solely on loving up the other racers? Road Rash is one of my favorite games of all time, and if you liked it, it's worth checking out Road Redemption on Steam, a spiritual sequel that's still in Early Access, but is very far along and frequently updated.
