I believe I'm one of only three people to have played this

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 29 03:46:29 2013 No.569507 I almost forgot that lava lamps were a status symbol back in the early 90's.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 29 03:49:29 2013 No.569523 >>569465 At that time all the "real" games were still DOS while Windows had these simplistic multimedia demo things.
