If you were a kid with a DOS PC back in the heyday of Shareware and DOS PC Gaming, there’s a pretty good chance you know of Epic Megagames. I have fond memories of a good number of their products, from Jill to the Jungle to One Must Fall, there was a lot of fun to be had. I plan on visiting the rest of this trilogy in the future, as I feel they deserve to see the light of day since I get the feeling that not too many people actually shelled out the money for these guys.
At least, nobody I knew ever actually bought anything based upon the free Shareware episodes.

English wasn’t my first language in school, but I remember from some young children’s fiction that stalactites cling “tight” to the ceiling while stalacmites “might” reach the ceiling some day.
The easiest way actually is to think ‘tights hang down’
In the eternal words of Ms. Frizzle:

Best and most important thing “The Magic School Bus” has ever taught me… :333

I thought Ballz was “Bad Music and Inappropriate Sound Effects: The Game”. :V
Took me awhile to realize you were calling the keys “Yeahs” and not “Yaz”. I was baffled and amused by the use of a birth control pill name instead of calling them keys. That will show me for playing with wonky sound.
I’m going out on a limb with this one, but that’s a way better joke than the crazy sound effect mocking I was doing. It’s so bizarre that it wraps completely around the dial back into hilarious.
