       Any olds around? Have you ever actually used a BOSS KEY feature to hide the fact that you were playing a PC game on a company machine? Tell me.

       @dosnostalgic we played networked bzFlag during our PhD…. It had a boss key. And we used it.

       @dosnostalgic the period of time i played games with a boss key and the the period of time i was of employable age did not overlap, but i do enjoy the odd window this gave me into adult life.

       @dosnostalgic I remember the boss key, although I never used it.It does remind me of something though.When I first started working, and I was deploying and upgrading computers at a company, one department to my surprise were all playing the DOS version of Tetris during working hours.   Noone hid that they were playing.  It was roughly 15 people.  And they all seemed to have these insanely high scores  🙂

       @dosnostalgic The DOS Star Wars port would bring up an operational spreadsheet if you hit Ctrl+B

       @dosnostalgic Sort of, as a kid I would sometimes play the hidden Word `97 pinball game in class because if you hit the ESC key it would drop you right back into Word so it looked like you were working!https://youtu.be/K1eKKEk25Ms

       @dosnostalgic Not that old. But I did use a boss key to hide games from my parents. :-)

       @SpindleyQ @Eliot_L I think I still remember how to start both up. AND the Hall of Tortured Souls from Excel 95.
