Oh, I think it checks out. Maybe it should be “fly to space” or “fly rocket ships”, but the point of the job is the trip. Unless – hmm. Did explorers of yesteryear have BS jobs, too?

Why do I have Huntrix songs running through my head all of a sudden?

O…kay? I never said you HAD a responsibility to buy MH Wilds. I’m really not sure where your vehement reaction is coming from.

I remember getting Medieval 1 as a Christmas present and playing all day! I didn’t actually get Medieval 2 until many years later – I was playing Rome for a long time.

Duke of Death is iconic. I’m kind of surprised they didn’t keep it in the track list for later games.

Ha, I was going to comment on this.
Boats are also supposed to have white lights at the stern and (if they have one) at the top of the mast.
