Remember Homestar Runner? This new piece of content dropped recently, regarding this thing called FriendlyWare:

Prominently featured in the video at around 9:49 is a bug that is trivial to replicate via the Archive.org emulator:
LINK REMOVED
Start the emulator, press E, type a name, press Enter, press N, then 1, then any letter (except Y or Z).
The bug appears to relate to the command "SOUND x*2+22,.0001". Sadly, no one in the Youtube comments seems to know exactly why this should constitute an "illegal function call". Surely it worked on the hardware of its era? Is it an incompatibility with DOSBox?
/EDIT Removed link to unsupported dosbox version but more importantly "abandonware" copy of game on IA.
