Let’s see if it is on this floppy… C:/>dir What..? 500 over files?! Okay, Ctrl+C and break it… Let’s try this… C:/>dir/w/p Nope…nope…this is taking too long. Maybe it isn’t in this directory… C:/>cd system C:/>dir *.exe File Not Found. Nope, nothing either… C:/>cd… Oh wait i see it. I made it into an .bat file the last time. C:/>autoexec Here we go… SIERRA ON-LINE presents… . . . KING’S QUEST Okay, can’t remember if King’s Quest actually ran from a batch file or a boot up disk, but it’s not the point here… you can substitute it with any other game that you remember. Like Burgertime or Spy Hunter……

It’s one of favourite recent movies… I have always been a fan of both Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, so this was a must watch for me. It’s tacky and over the top in props and storyline, but the music and acting by the two stars were top-notch.

Four Days in Phuket
