An ancient haze surrounds you!

Audio
IBM 7094 – Daisy Bell

In 1961, a computer sang a song for the first time.

Daisy Bell by Henry Dacre (1892)

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do,
I’m half crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage -
I can’t afford a carriage.
But you’d look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.

…

Yup, that’s the song HAL sings in 2001 when he’s shutting down.

An ancient haze surrounds you! You enter the faded pyramid. It is dark and smells of mold. An ancient haze surrounds you!
The mummy attacks!
You fail to defend!
You are now cursed.
You ready your sword!
Something isn't right...
You strike yourself!
You are now dead.
Ask me anything
