I delve deep into the box of CGA games from my childhood and return with one of the strangest things ever to be downloaded from a bulletin board. It's NIOSA! A 1987 game in the tragically under-represented genre of Frijole-em-up. Perhaps the original walking simulator?

I explore the game, share what little information I've been able to find about it, and explain why it's games like this that I associated with that weird early PC gaming era.
