It's almost as though they invented something precisely as annoying as USB-A ...before USB even existed! 😳

You think that's annoying? Try not mixing up the mouse and keyboard PS/2 ports, if they are not color-coded.

I used to have the same problem, but I just recently figured out (magically... in my head) the "red" wire is pin 1... for 20-odd years I never noticed.
Don't rely over much on the "red stripe towards the power connector" thing though, it's 95% correct, but that 5% will bite you in the ass, particularly with floppies and more ancient HDDs.

in the mid 90's playing shareware games i came across cat splat it was a cat shooting game instead of shooting clay, cats would fly in the air and if you shoot it you score and it splatters i confess i loved it probably that most shareware was crap 🤣
Yeah I remember it looked amazing in 1996 or what ever, but I only played the demo. I bet there is s no fog patch but I'm not even going to attempt to Google it. 😀

I think the Atari ST soundchip was a failure. Even at the time. What an absolute shame.
Every tune I've ever heard coming out of it has made me regret having ears. Well, except some demoscene stuff.
