Games We Know We'll Never See:
Where in Hell is Carmen Sandiego?: Her life of crime having finally caught up with her in the form of a trigger-happy Acme shamus' bullet, arch criminal Carmen Sandiego has gone to blazes. But no sooner does she arrive than she steals the Devil's own pitchfork. Now you must track her through the nine rings of Hell facing nightmarish images of damnation.

I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
Milton came into his wife's room one day. "If I were, say, disfigured, would you still love me?" he asked. "Darling, I'll always love you," she said calmly, filing her nails. "How about if I became impotent and couldn't make love to you any more?" he asked anxiously. "Don't worry, darling, I'll always love you," she told him, buffing her nails. "Well, how about if I lost my job as vice president?" Milton went on, "What if I weren't pulling in six figures any more—would you still love me then?" The woman looked over at her husband's worried face. "Milton, I'll always love you," she reassured him, "but most of all, I'll really miss you."
