@mediaarchaeologylab Fun times! I have vague happy memories of this game (on Macintosh). I also remember that most cells would do better when I wasn't there. I'd jump in, do some manual work, and then switch areas when things started falling apart and come back later.

The disk images are uploaded. I don't currently have a system/emulator set up where I can test things, so I'm hoping it all works for anyone who stumbles on it. (No idea how to change the feature photo either.)

@Gammitin My 7th grade English teacher would roll in such a beast, pull out a Betamax cassette of TV recordings, and make us watch old episodes of The Cosby Show. 😬 Then she’d leave until it was _supposed_ to be done.

I may have used my Casio Secret Sender’s universal remote to rewind it before she’d come back so it wasn’t done yet, leaving no time for class discussion.

@nazokiyoubinbou The upside down part must have been the prior owner's doing. I fixed it without any issues.

You never realize how much of a magnetic minefield you have on your desk until you go to read some magnetic storage. 😬

@Gammitin I see others on IA using .ima for floppy images. Wikipedia redirects .ima to .img, implying they are the same. Would I be able to simply tell a Linux system to `cat` or `dd` the disks with .ima as the resulting extension?
