Howdy, all. I’ve been listening to the podcast for about a year now, and I decided it’s finally time to participate.
I’m (barely) old enough to have grown up with DOS, but I had this interesting relationship with the computer in that my mom wanted the computer to be for education ONLY. The game console was for entertainment, the computer was for learning. While I played precious few actual DOS games, I could tell you all about Number Munchers.
So this podcast has been for me a window into this alternate universe of gaming that theoretically I could have been a part of but due to circumstances completely missed out on. I’m excited to start participating more actively!
For the curious, my mom finally gave up on the “no games on the computer” thing around when I entered middle school, but by then DOS games were really starting to be displaced by Windows games.
