My daughters began playing “the floor is lava” too and I’m sure I did not teach them. That’s odd. But, yes, she already saw the “bear trap”. In fact, that’s the thing I said her after the spikes. “Now the bear trap! SDENG! SDENG! SDENG!” and she tried to time her jumps with my noises. ---

No, she already knew it 😛 remember how you told her “I don’t think I have games here” and she recognized the DosBox icon and said “yes, you do have games on this computer” ---

I jumped with joy at the news at first, but I guess the free dlc won´t work with my copy of The Ultimate Doom (I think it said somewhere it has to be the original 1993 one). ---
