After using files on FujiNet, even if I eject them from slots, I frequently … More Stopping and starting the Windows 10 version of TNFS server via SSH

So here it is, my playthrough of the games featured on episode 1 of RetroGameSquad. NOTE: I’m coming to all of these games instruction-blind. Even ones that I’ve played before in my long gaming history, I’ve probably forgotten more than I remember.
