I remember something different.
When I played Mad TV with a friend in the old days, on his Pentium 75 I believe, we always played a lot.
And we did really good. (I state that I'm still a Mad TV pro
)
But everytime we wanted to save we had to hold the breath cause the PC sometimes crashed and showed only:
"Parity check"
and we couldn't play any further. Always during the save process... <_<
