This reminds me of the old boss key: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_key https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_key

  Exactly what I was thinking. I remember being so confused by it as a kid when I saw it in games. Like, why do you need a key that displays a fake DOS prompt?

    It was useful when my parents walked by and thought I was doing homework. Being in the DOS prompt was at least slightly more legit than playing a game.

      nice use of 'slightly', i.e. kids do actually play games for homework nowadays :)
