Well, I tried the Wayne's World game, and I couldn't get it to install- I think the first floppy has a flaw on it or something, since it keeps coming back with errors.
The Indiana Jones game IS a side-scroller. Well, sort of- you go in and out of doors and up ladders and swing his whip across open spaces (that was the coolest part). You have to collect stuff like keys and what not- tell you the truth, it sort of reminded me of "Below the Root", except not as, er, spiritual.
My computer is still non-functional, and Phil's has been shut down for now, pending the full installation of an AV. I bought a new cartridge for the printer today. Funny story:
I go in to Staples, and before I have a chance to seriously search on my own, an employee accosts me and asks me what I need. So I tell him (rather unenthusiastically) that I want a cartridge for an i320 printer. So he bipasses the rack of cheap, crappy Staples brand cartridges and finds the Canon brand one for me. It's only like $9.97, so I think sure, okay. He tries to talk me into buying a two-pack for $17, but I refuse. All the time that this is going on, I'm peeking around the general area because I was POSITIVE that Staples used to sell the Ko-Rec brand, which is always cheaper. The Ko-Rec rack is no where to be found.
So instead I start poking around the bargain bins, because they often have good stuff, and, lo and behold, there's and entire BIN of Ko-Rec black ink printer cartridges that fit my printer. And all of them were marked down to $5.97. So I bought two. And it only cost me like $12. If they have honestly discontinued the Ko-Rec cartridges at Staples, that would suck, because they're my favourite brand.
Okay, so it was a boring story. But I found it slightly amusing.
