    it's fun to look back and realise that actually, my tastes have stayed pretty consistent over the years. and try to remember the stuff that was actually a part of my childhood, not just the stuff that's in the generic package of nostalgic childhood games.

      I played to the end of Chrono Trigger in ZSNES, the mapping splayed out over the keyboard. you had to be careful not to set the bindings to something where you'd press alt & space simultaneously, because that combo would trigger a windows shortcut.

        and there was a screen where the emulation couldn't a translucent cloud layer correctly, so you had to switch off that layer from rendering manually to get past. is this a relatable gaming memory?
