The funny thing is for me is I never knew about this hidden game at the time. I was also like 6 at the time. I started on MSDOS 5 and wasn’t this in Win3.1? Wild this era of computing was. So many dip switch’s
I remember playing it on DOS-only machines. I think it started being included with QBasic in MSDOS 5. This is now unlocking a memory, for me. I remember, back in that era, I made a QBasic program that was literally the DVD screensaver, with the logo bouncing around…except it was just a circle with a gradient in it. I think I eventually upgraded it to being a smiley face. Anyway, that was long before the meme about screensavers like that, and the whole “OMG IT’S ABOUT TO HIT THE CORNER, SO SATISFYING” thing.
But the thing is, I distinctly remember having that “oooh, it’s gonna hit the corner” feeling. And it was extra satisfying, because I had coded the collision physics for myself, including offsets for the origin point of the circle, so it would bounce off the edges, rather than slide halfway off the screen. It was a really awesome feeling.
I know nothing of fighting crime. I expect it is long periods of boredom, with short and intense action. At some point, except at the conclusion of something, crime is nearly nothing at 4 AM. Sleep to noon, then get going. Alfred and any assistants can have decisions lined up for him.
Also me: Not sleeping but consuming memes in the middle of the night about a guy not sleeping because he thinks of a fictional guy not sleeping in order to fight crime.
