WELL DUH, of course the internet-harvested brain matter is going skew towards this.

The LLM dataset is made up of people like me telling you to nuke everything from orbit just to be sure, or nuke it for the sake of nuking it, cause it goes boom!
for the past 3 decades.

I played the hell out of that as well, on the biggest maps of course.

Here's a fun fact - In the OG version you couldn't change the game speed. a play through as long as it took - which was 'forever' as far as I recall ๐Ÿ˜…

it just always 'sold out' on AH - but I can just walk to the local AH or Jumbo and take it off the shelf.

For those of you whom enjoy 'Daddies Favourite Sauce' more, that's made in Poland.
And it was also created by the same man who invented HP Sauce.. small world innit.

You can get HP in Jumbo and AH though :)

What I find hilarious is that HP sauce, literally 'Houses of Parliament' sauce - Is actually made here in the Netherlands.

What annoys me is we're limited to this small bottle design only.
