IIIIRetro98
Now Updating: nostalgia.exe
Introducing Retro98. Our latest drop and the next evolution in our nostalgic sleeper PC series.
This one is for the true believers.
The fearless few who proudly shared a/s/l with strangers in chatrooms at 2am.
The battle hardened who slapped their CRT after the tenth buffer underrun and another sacrificed CD-R.
And the mighty who learned early that the answer to a Zergling rush was never panic, it was nonstop Marine production and a perfectly sealed wall of Supply Depots.
Welcome to 1998. Where the future was loud, beige, and relentless.
And the next step is always Insert Disc 2.
