    I feel like, if Wordle were an 80s MS-DOS game, it would be on a non-copy-protected Floppy drive and released as shareware, so that it can spread to as many players as possible.
    Lingo, the TV show that Wordle was based on, had a MS-DOS game anyway, so this is more real than you expect.

      They still have Lingo in my home country. It's a little different than Wordle. There is a word game combined with a bingo game. Even if you suck, you can still win with luck.

    The matrix printer scream! Brings me back to the days when father dearest had to print out reams and reams of data on 2 giant printers. On the weekends of course, because otherwise nobody in the office could field phone calls or even in the warehouse below. Even the custom 'sound proof' enclosures with double glazing didn't help much; they just changed to sound pressure from head exploding to 'your ears will bleed'. What i did like was the 'carriage return' motors or the feed motors sounded like 'the' sample from The Bucketheads - The Bomb [These Sounds Fall Into My Mind]
