Transcript
{A live-action case filled with 5 inch floppies sits on a desk next to an old computer. The disk in the front has a handwritten label reading "Disk 4 of 12". Strong Bad's gloves reach into the shot, open the case and begin rifling through the contents.}
STRONG BAD: {singing} When I check my email,
{Strong Bad holds up a disk labeled "Old Game".}
STRONG BAD: —there are some old games.
{Strong Bad inserts the disk into a disk drive and then types on a keyboard with boxing gloves on.}
STRONG BAD: Now I'm gonna play them for you.
{The monitor comes to life, showing a screen reading "Strong Bad's Disk 4 of 12". A disk reading noise plays.}
{Fade into a shot of Strong Bad's desk, zooming in on the container of floppy disks, the frontmost one reading "friendly ware".}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} This episode's game comes from sbemail 65: unused emails. And this game, oh man, it's the greatest game!
{Cut to live-action. Strong Bad's gloves display the game's case, which is a small, white, 3-ring binder containing 3 diskettes and some legal and instructional papers.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} The FriendlyWare P.C. Introductory Set was a series of games and... productivity... programs?
{Cut to a shot of the computer, which displays a blank screen.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} that were made to introduce the early-1980's family-
{The screen displays the family from QWERTY.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} -to their new personal computer.
{Cut back to the case}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Let's take a look here.
{Strong Bad flips the contents of the case to the instructional sheet at the front.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Woah! Look at-
{Cut to a close-up of the sheet, which has illustrations of the Control, Alt, and Period/Delete keys which extend to show the neighboring keys.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} the size of those Control-Alt-Delete keys! Those things look like... family sedans!
{The illustration of the Alt key grows four wheels and drives out of frame, complete with exhaust smoke, screeching sounds, and tire marks left behind on the sheet.}
