put in doom

((VERB IDENTIFIED: PUT))

Sure! You've been trying to bodge this buggy mess into booting for hours. You could use a smidge of soothing shooter action before you sort some more stuff out.

You squiz across your collection when something catches your eye. What could this be? It sure looks like one of your copies of Doo-oooh no.

Oh no.

Oh, no, no, no no no no no NO NO NO!



God, it's been a long time since you've seen that many floppies in one place. You just found your STASH OF DOOM FLOPPY DISKS! ((>TAKE: Y/N?)) You should probably put them back in their box and put them away before visions of multi-hour installation sequences interspersed with ejecting and re-ejecting diskettes consume your thought for the rest of the day.

You like retro gaming, but there are some elements of it that deserve being dead and buried. FOREVER.

>insert the cd you found in the cereal box

((VERB IDENTIFIED: INSERT))

Shifting the silly slices of magnetic tape aside, you grasp the package firmly. Here it is. A small CD case (well, it could be a DVD, hard to tell) slides out of the CEREAL CARTON of Capt'n Crunch it was oddly mailed to you in. Thankfully, the whole thing was shoved full of styrofoam bits and while its FESTIVE WRAPPING was scuffed, the internals look in working order.

This is the Game's 'OS' DISK, according to the manual you read two pages of, then tossed aside. It's probably stuck under all those floppies now. Kind of strange that it needs its own operating system to run, but then, you know this is no ordinary game. You've seen some pretty strange reports online about this little beastie. The translation allegedly exists on levels of shittiness rarely witnessed in the era of passable auto-translators.

Even the code itself was partially-incomplete (forcing you to bail up a close friend for solutions). You expect to be utterly disgusted by ineptitude, but you're determined to have the first real Let's Play up before anyone can beat you to the punch. You could go right ahead and stick it in to see what happens, or maybe take a closer look at the COVER. The MANUAL might be handy but it's probably not that important, who reads those anyway?
