Be a good consumer and buy. It's not what you want that matters, but
how much of it you own ;-)

I had to look up which game "Hypnospace Outlaw" was. I remembered
playing it but initially couldn't recall anything else thing about it.
It was the one that had a fake Internet that you had to surf. I was
impressed by the depth of the simulation, but less so with the
gameplay. Maybe it's because I don't have much nostalgia for the old
web; probably because I wasn't a kid when it was new so it didn't have
the same impact on me (that, and the 90s web was a movement away from
the advertising free, academic internet I was familiar with; it was
loud and brash and filled with a lot more nonsense; a step down in
many ways, as far as I was concerned ;-)
