5: What was the game that made you a gamer? S.C.Out, an old DOS/Amiga Top Down action/puzzler( I am still trying to find ways to play this game. The software is so old I cannot get it off of the floppy to even emulate it. I am in the process of getting an older computer so I can make a copy that is compatible with current systems)

Just use dosbox man, it's super useful.

I can't get DosBox to read the disk. Trust me, I have tried this for years

Just Google the game name and be on your way. If you're literally holding the physical disks you purchased with one hand while you click the mouse with your other, your conscience should be all clear.

I have yet to find a fully working copy of it. I found a mobile version that is bugged and has at least 2 unbeatable levels.
