That's how it always begins, innit? We can't break with tradition. Free games always start with a ho or three. I'm pretty sure that's mentioned in the scripture somewhere. "And lo, whereupon in the winter months shall there be games a'plenty, and for nary a penny, for the ho's of winter shall keep you warm with their bounteous harvest." - Chronicles of The Number, Ch III, v 12 We wouldn't want to go against scripture, would we? Anyway, today's game is singular; no duplicates this time! (But don't worry, there are a lot more multiples of unwanted ancient DOS games to come. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED). * Internet Cafe Simulator https://store.steampowered.com/app/1136160/Internet_Cafe_Simulator/ Yeah, it's one of those silly (and very janky) workplace 3AV3F sims/business management games. They're none of them great (with a few exceptions, but ICS isn't one of those) but 0TH4D they're good for a laugh anyway. It's a good thing it's not a very long game too. Look, we're working up to the good ZE69R games, okay? Until then, be patient and maybe try something outside your normal safe zone ;-) Well, that's it for today; I've fulfilled my holy duty. I'll just leave you with the ho's for the rest of the day, shall I? Ho! Ho! Ho!
