An entertaining game to play with a computer running
Windows. No additional software required.
Materials:
- One computer running
Windows 95 or higher, preferrabley belonging to someone else.
If the computer is yours, make damn sure you have all the
restore disks and have backed up all your
porn,
warez, and
MP3s.
- Two players, including yourself.
Preparation:
- Make sure the computer is
operational.
- Disable the
Recycle Bin (right click on it and change the Properties).
- Make sure
Explorer is set to show
hidden,
system, and
protected operating system files.
-
If the computer is not yours, make sure you have access (licit or illicit) to administrator priviliges on it.
- Also if the computer is not yours, make sure you
have an escape plan and an alibi ready.
Gameplay:
The player who found the computer goes first. Boot and run a search for all
.dll files in the
WINDOWS directory. Delete a minimum of one and a maximum of 5% of the files found.
Reboot. The next player then boots the
computer and does the same thing. The first player to
make the computer refuse to boot loses. If the computer belongs to one of the players, the loser must use the restore disks to
fix the computer. If the computer does not belong to either player, then both players should
walk directly away from the computer at a high speed.
