did I miss something? was there a discussion about microwaves here?
Can you think of other microwaves -or microwave related- topics in
video games?
ore likely, this was just a mis-post to the wrong newsgroup, or
somebody posting to usenet instead of sending a private email. I'm
glad_I_ have never, ever done anything so foolish.*

There can be, if you want.
Although to keep it on topic, let's relate it to games somehow.
Although that's not as easy as you might believe. Umm... lemme think a moment.
Okay, how about these:
There was that microwave incident in Black Mesa at the start of "Half
Life". Later referenced in "Half Life: Episode Two" too!
"Killing Floor 2" had a microwave gun.
Didn't "Unreal Tournament" have a map where you could trap people
inside a room, push a button, and it would microwave them until they
popped? I'd like to see a user manual for THAT thing! ;-)

The LAST thing I expected was an extended microwave thread. It's nice to
see a real human being behind this one.
I have a Frigidaire 800W myself. It's always fun guessing the extended
cook time on boxes of frozen food.
I have seen the exact same microwave in various places rebranded as
something else.
I'm very tempted to return it though as it has a child lock and won't
open without first hitting the child lock button and some other button.
I managed to turn that off which took about an hour to figure out with
the manual. It was fine for a couple months, but now the door won't
open without pulling on the corner in addition to pressing the big
button in which is supposed to pop it open. It has no handle, only the button which is used to push the door open.

Funny how nobody here remembers the Apple ][ game, called, you guessed
it, "Microwave." Damn that game was fun and an improvement on Pac_Man, >>which it had clear roots in. I call Pac_Man one-dimensional when the
two are side by side. And the music was gorgeous.
I mean, it did come out 41 years ago, and you're on an ibm.pc gaming >newsgroup... it really shouldn't surprise you that it gets little
notice here. ;-)
According to Mobygames, "Microwave is generally credited as being the
first game to incorporate music *during* the action of the game,
rather than just in cut-scenes."

sorry guys, just a mis-click. But the subsequent discussion
has been entertaining. Leave it to Spalls to make a
thing about it....
ps= I have been lurking on this newsgroup [and others] since the
early '80s but never made this error before :-(
