There's something magical about rummaging around in a messy drawer. For my money, it's the closest we'll come to time travel in our lifetimes – simply because rediscovering old crap that we almost certainly should have tossed in the trash many, many years ago gives it a second chance at life in the present day. In my experience, forgotten photographs snapped on disposable cameras are god-tier messy drawer fodder, back when I still had hair and a discernible jawline. Battered and yellowed ticket stubs from bygone music festivals or memorable football matches are a close second; while at the other end of the spectrum sits old bills from now defunct mobile phone companies.
Better than all of these things, though, are long lost video games. Better still, is one particular first-person point-and-click narrative adventure that I recently rediscovered some 26 years after purchase: my original copy of the best Simpsons game that ever lived – Digital Evolution and Fox Interactive's 1997 gem, Virtual Springfield.
