    2001 I figured out a way to get a NES emulator and games on all the computers in the lab. School was pissed but never figured me out. I played so much Kirby.

      Someone figured out that you didn’t have to install starcraft to play it, just copy/paste the files. Those were some good times.

      We were able to put the emulators on our network drives, so the admins couldn’t revert your change when the ghosted the machine.

      My favorite accomplishment from that era was discovering that I could make the single core machines beep themselves to death and sneaking that into the shortcut icon for IE in the ghost image. Man was the IT admin mad about that 🤣

        I think it was the network drive for us as well. Shit was so long ago. I just remember everyone had it and was playing games and it was my fault.

        Probably, I remember it being a different one but that could have been a SNES emulator. I can’t find one that rings bell that was around then. My memory is decent but it was 24 years ago.
