    All this talk about flip phones, I almost forgot bag phones existed:

      My dad had one of those. My mum decided it was dirty one day and put it in the washing machine.

      That reminds me of satchel charges from Red Faction.

      Actually, looked it up and found it didn’t resemble what I remembered (and was called the “remote charge” in the first game of the series): https://redfactionwiki.com/wiki/Remote_Charge

      I remembered a green bag with an antenna sticking out of the top, very mildly visually reminiscent of your photo. Wonder what game that was.

          That appears to be correct.

          Thank you!

        CoD: Modern Warfare (maybe MW 2?) had charges that looked like that, I think.

          Thank you for the recommendation! I was not a fan of that series, so I don’t think that was it.

          DDG seems to mostly be recommending Deep Rock Galactic (which is a fantastic video game, but my memory is from the 90s or 00s, so I don’t think it qualifies) and I’m not sure how many times I want the term “satchel charge” to show up in my search history.

          My thoughts were GoldenEye, Red Faction or Duke Nukem, but unfortunately none of those appear to be correct.

          Again, I appreciate the effort.
