Commander Keen is probably the one that I liked the most that is also well known.

My personal favorite was Bass Class, which is weird because I've zero interest in real-life fishing, then or now.

The identification depends on how correct Jerome's rescuers were in thinking his amputations were not completely healed and so were recent. Gamby showed up across the bay four years previous and was missing his legs then.

Yes, eventually?

This sounds like something they'd name an Italian character in an old Bugs Bunny cartoon.

"Revolutionary Paris" had me thinking about this entirely the wrong way.

Good thing he didn't throw his drinking problem overboard instead.

Ganong makes Chicken Bones, which are a cinnamon candy. They're mostly chocolate, though: Pal-o-Mine chocolate bars, Delecto Peanut Clusters, and they're introducing a new one they bought out from an American manufacture: Sixlets, which look like chocolate M&M's from the pictures and their website.

Prana makes a bunch of nut snacks like salted cashews and almonds.

It's worth noting that "No one had ever traced such a track, as a modern navigator would do" is just wrong. Joseph B. Murdock was with the United States Coast Survey and an instructor at the US Naval Academy and he came up with San Salvador as the landing site at the turn of the 20th century. Historian Samuel Eliot Morison sailed up and down the US' East Coast in a small boat just for funsies and so knew that kind of navigation as well as anyone; he came up with San Salvador too in the 1930s.

!Traveller@ttrpg.network is about the venerable Traveller TTRPG, and is new in the last couple of weeks. It's seeing some activity every few days right now so it might not take much more to get it off the ground.
