I did a stream last night with my friend Chris in which we played some horrible old games from his childhood. Thanks to everyone who joined!
Sorry about the audio - it only recorded to the left channel and I dont have a way to edit it because of the format OBS recorded in.

Back in the day, playing games that came on multiple discs could be SO irritating. 20 years later, I fixed it.

Corrections:
18:53 I learned some FASCINATING things about this after the video was done. CDROMs connect to the IDE/ATA port, but they do not speak the same language as hard drives; they use ATAPI, which is generally described as SCSI over IDE. This I knew, but I thought it was a limited subset. I never imagined that it supported LUNs, but it does. So an IDE CDROM can absolutely appear as two, five, or even seven devices, with no special software. This has actually led to bugs! Some CD-RW drives do not check the LUN field before responding to a command, so when the OS scans the bus, the drive can appear as seven separate drives. This happened on both Windows XP and Linux, at least. Linux received a patch that uses a heuristic to avoid this situation, which is probably why youve never seen it.
22:05 I dont know how I did this, but the album name here is wrong. thats a Jeff Rosenstock album. I havent even thought about Jeff in weeks. the correct album name is _I Dont Know What Im Doing._ To be fair to myself, both of these names / artists are highly self deprecating.")
