Thus it came to pass that the once Mighty PC of Simon and Monika did begin to bear its burden heavily. For yea, though it toiled under the weight of The Sims 2 and Flight Simulator, so it did run ever more slowly as its masters heaped innumerable add-ons and expansion packs, until the very circuits themselves groaned for mercy.
