Interesting observation, I think...
There's a thread on Lemmy asking users what browser they use... and practically no one answered Chrome! The browser that's supposed to have outright won the browser wars has NO USERS there. Some people use a fork like Vivaldi or Chromium, but it's mostly Firefox!

Itβs the driving percussion that makes this track stand out to me.
Jackal NES tends to get overshadowed by other Konami/Ultra bangers for the console, and thatβs a shame. Not to be punny, but it is a blast to play. Typically great music enhances the funβ for me, at least.
Ah, compare that to the same piece from the arcade version: downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtr...
I think the NES version wins out over it a bit.

I'm a big fan of Forget-Me-Not, don't know how classic you'd consider it to be but it feels classic: play.google.com/store/apps/d...
Mini Metro is on Android, is it old enough to be classic?: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Just reset them to plaintext with the tags left in.
What a time to discover that shell doesn't have a generalized search-and-replace command, other than maybe sed, which only works on lines so tags with newlines in them need Special Handling.
This is going to be a puzzle, isn't it.
