You are absolutely mad, in the most wonderful way possible. And great video as well. Just astonishing how much work went into this, out of what I can only assume is pure hacker spirit.

I played a lot of this game a long time ago, and I completely agree that anything that required using the OSK was incredibly tedious.

That's exactly it! The hacker spirit definitely took over on this one. I guess it did take a lot of work, but IMO the absurdity of going this far adds to the humor of it all. So glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
