šµļøāāļø An Unexpected Internet Mystery (Help Me Solve It!)
For the past 7 days, my website has been repeatedly suggested by Google to answer a questionā¦ for one very determined, very frustrated human somewhere on the internet.
How do I know?
Because I keep seeing the same incredibly specific search query over and over again, long, detailed, and clearly typed in desperation.
The most google version of the query is:
ādos shareware game published november early 1990s single-player three credits two same surnameā
Somewhere out there is a poor soul on a noble quest to rediscover a long-lost MS-DOS shareware game, and Google keeps pointing them almost to the answerā¦ but not quite. And honestly? I canāt live with that.
So Iāve decided to turn this into a community-powered rescue mission.
If you:
Played obscure DOS shareware games in the early 90s
Remember reading credits screens obsessively
Recognise anything about āthree creditsā or ātwo developers with the same surnameā
Or just enjoy internet archaeology
š Please comment with any ideas, guesses, or wild theories.
I donāt currently have a way to ask this mystery person follow-up questions, but hereās the fun part:
Iām going to create a dedicated page just for this search, so that one day soon, this person might Google the same phraseā¦ and finally find their answer waiting for them.
And imagine how hilarious itāll be if they realise an entire behind-the-scenes quest unfolded on their behalf š
Letās solve this.
For justice.
For nostalgia.
For that one exhausted Googler who refuses to give up.
