MS DOS: The eternal OS

"The computer had an old DOS-based menu that had been up for so long that the screen had severe burn-in and probably could have been read by people using their fingertips."

Fish types a few commands. The hard drive whirs and clunks and finally responds. The PC is running a version of DOS that's 20 years old.

I rented this one back in the day. I remember it being more fun than it ended up being. The game starts of pretty fun - the fights don't devolve into ridiculous slugfests until about the 10th or 11th mission in the plot. After that point, well, it's just really silly, with bad controls, and overly tough fights. Avoid it.

But I did make myself beat it, just to say I had. :p
