Does anyone remember the old DOS game called nethack. That game was da
bomb, and actually being, at least it seems to me, the inspiration
behind gauntlet, which then inspired a whole bunch of games that finally
leaded to the creation of Wolfenstein (the original version), one of the
first, if not the first, 1st person shooter. Aah, how videogame history
is nice, and how it brings back so many memories. Too bad noone plays,
or even programs, those types of 4-bit games (nethack) anymore.

If it don't work, hit it.
If it still doesn't work, kick it.
If it works after hitting it and kicking it, then it doesn't matter if
hitting it or kicking it helped, what's important is it worked.
