Daarnaast worden nog enkele andere cd's naar voren gehaald

In a very few cases we have chosen to award a special token of merit. It takes the form
of a crown. This is to denote records we feel a special adminraion of affection for:
a purely personal choice, which we hope our readers will deem as such.
We hope our readers will indulge this whim (aldus samensteller Brian Morton)

“That’s the spirit,” he said.

One night, unable to sleep, he opened an old forum: “Best PC games under 150 MB.” The thread was from 2012. He scrolled through relics: Spelunky Classic, Cave Story, Knytt, La-Mulana. He’d played them once, back in college, when his hard drive was measured in gigabytes, not terabytes.

It loaded instantly. Pixel art. Chiptune music. A nameless robot in a floating island full of rabbit-like Mimigas. Simple. Old. He played for an hour, then two. For the first time in months, he wasn’t thinking about the mortgage, the silence of the apartment, the way his mother’s voice cracked when she asked if he was eating properly.

Morning came. They talked for three hours. By the end of the week, he’d started looking at apartments in her city. By the end of the month, he’d packed his laptop and the only thing that mattered: a flash drive labeled “Under 150 MB.”

“That’s charm, baby.”

He downloaded Cave Story . 98 MB.

“Can I try?” she asked.

“She’s fine. I’m not.”

She didn’t say yes. But she didn’t say no. She said, “Let’s talk in the morning.”

Then the divorce happened.

He closed the laptop. Called his ex-wife at 4:17 AM. She picked up on the third ring, voice thick with sleep and worry.
