However, as the night wore on, the PS2 console began to struggle. The highly compressed ISO file had clearly taken its toll, and the game started to lag and stutter. Alex and his friend tried to persevere, but it became clear that the game was not going to run smoothly for much longer.
As the night drew to a close, Alex and his friend reluctantly shut down the console and saved their progress. They knew that they would have to be careful with the highly compressed ISO file, as it might not be stable for much longer.
The next morning, Alex's friend received a message from an unknown sender. It read: "Enjoying PES 2014 on PS2, I see. Be careful, though – you never know when the game's creators might come knocking."
