You played Ultima II (1982). It had a "negate time" command to stop time for enemies in combat, but it used "strange coins". I think it only used one, the "two coins to rub together" was just a figure of speech.
Reading the manual would probably have helped but being 6, I understand how you didn't (or maybe didn't even have access to it). I had similar experiences with other games when I was a similar age :)
- dools 2y agoHaha yeah I don't think there was a manual. I'm pretty sure it was pirated on a floppy disk or something with a label written in biro in my step father's desk. It wasn't until much later (maybe mid-teens) that I saw/heard the expression "not having two coins to rub together" as being used as a euphamism for being poor and it clicked into place.
