Similar situation here - the saddest thing is that I managed to jemmy W11 onto one of them (23H2) and it runs quite nicely. Unfortunately due to the CPU incompatibility issue I won’t be able to update it further and 23H2 is almost at the end of support. Why do MS hate their customers so much? 🤷♂️

I was quite literally watching @ctrl-alt-rees.com "Rees Rambles" podcast on YouTube mentioning this very game, whilst thumbing through Bluesky on my phone when this thread popped up - the juxtaposition was quite remarkable (and just a bit weird! 😱) Strange forces at work! 😂

I am presently fighting the urge to look for a polo shirt and/or a baseball cap with the legend “WTF?” in bold letters across them. (… and I am a Brit!) 🤦♂️

That's encouraging! I've made up a concoction of detergent and IPA which I administer at room temperature, and which seems to work ok (I also use it on my 3.5" disks) It smells somewhat "medicinal", which seems somehow appropriate!

I have seen some mould formations on discs which remind me of Mandelbrot patterns or cultures in Petri dishes we used to produce in school biology lessons! 😂

Just watched your latest Ramble - make sure you make the best of being in your early 40s
There will probably come a time when you look back at this period of your life and realise that this was your Prime of Life
That’s how it worked out for me anyway - if only I had known! 😀

With the Supreme Court in his pocket the definition of “legal” might be questionable - it’s a sh*t show however you look at it!

I thought “other ranks” swore allegiance to the President, whilst Officers swore allegiance to the Constitution? (I’m out of my depth here … 🙄)

Maybe you should commission Robin at 8-bit Show & Tell to write and record you an appropriate song to dub onto your soundtrack for occasions like these? 🤣
