A year or so later I finally got me a PC and beat that game at home. I almost beat that game in one night, but didn't. Aaand the pipe cracked, slow flooding started, but even I was afraid of the flood and the game I continued to play until dawn. That was really a creepy looking cellar with no toilet, poor lightning and lots of water pipes. So I played this oh so great game at night, in the dark, locked cellar all night long with my pants almost wet. That night I was locked in alone, the club was located in the cellar of a multi-storey building btw. I had to fool my mom that it's ok and a lot of people are also there so she could let me go. The funny thing about these "nights" that there was no staff to stay with the customer and they had to lock you in. One time I payed for a night and I played Shade.
There was an option to pay for a night and I did that a couple of times. Many people were not able to buy PCs or consoles (consoles never were really that popular here actually, except NES) so they hanged out at places like that. It was 2004 and I had no PC, at the time the so called computer gaming clubs were still very popular. Now it's only a few clicks, but enough of that. Yeah, smell associations with games are a thing. It was cool because there was really something that you can connect to the game - a feeling, a memory or even a smell. You all know that time when there was no internet and you had to buy games in stores, borrow or pirate them. That was a time when I had a little story about almost any game I played back then. and I have this nice feeling of nostalgia and a little story to share with you.
