I just remember this short story:

When I was about 7 or 8 (around 1994), my dad had a computer at his office with MSDOS.

There I'd type "carmen.exe" and it would start "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" or "pool.exe" would run a 2D Pool game I don't remember the exact name.

And yet, there was a "dolphin.exe" that I always thought it was a game but I never got it running. Obviously I don't remember what was the exact issue but to this day, 20+ years later it still bugs me to know what was this "dolphin.exe" program.

    Pretty sure dolphin.exe was not a game, but a dependency executable for Delphi, which in '94 was being introduced as a successor to Turbo Pascal. That would explain why you were never able to get it to work, since it could not be launched by itself.
