My 12 y/o daughter recently ran into a "does it run DOOM" reference in media (I think a graphic novel-- not sure) and asked me about it. I got to explain the phenomenon and show her some examples (she found the pregnancy test to be particularly amusing). I'll have to show her this one.

I don't know. I'll ask her. She burns thru them and it may have already been returned to the library.

The pregnancy test had altered innards. So it was fake.

’ve been following Adrian's Afga system series, great dive into the unknown.

Realistically, I would've stopped the moment BASIC worked, called it "good enough," and then gotten distracted attempting to write a Forth for it.
