Claude fixed a bug stopping a 1991 DOS educational game from running on a real Pentium 75 PC, so the poster's son could play it.

The full story
The poster bought an old Pentium 75 PC to read 5.25-inch disks and play retro games. Operation Neptune, a game they loved as a child, ran for about 30 seconds on the first try, then every later attempt froze the PC.
After trying re-transfers and different FreeDOS boot setups without luck, they turned to Claude, which fixed the bug so the game works again. The poster was delighted that their son could play it.
