Creator notes

I've wanted to make something like this for a long time now. It's experimental and still pretty basic, but I really needed that nostalga hit and I like playing around with it.

YMMV depending on how you fiddle with your settings, and what model you use.

Eventually I may get around to adding RPG elements (to keep track of various things) and trimming the example questions/adding other stuff, but I'm suddenly overcome by the desire to open up dosbox.

Still, I figured that there might be one or two people who'd find this amusing for a few minutes, so I might as well put this out there.
