Remember, this was way before Windows.

it’s 1994

Windows 3.1 came out in 1992. Yes you still were in DOS a lot back then, but it was hardly “way before windows”.

Speaking of just hunting for random stuff in DOS, my personal favorite “what’s this?” in DOS was Gorillas.bas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillas_(video_game)?wprov=sfti1

Yeah, Gorillas was awesome ... came with MSDos 6 IIRC
