Please see below for the latest puzzle PCC#28 - "Check the Sound Cord"
[Level 2] Meta prompt: The answer to the meta is one of my favorite computer games of all time (which appears on BuzzFeed's best PC games of the 90s here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/joshcorrea/best-90s-pc-games)
Many thanks to FrankieHeck and Abide for test-solving!
Note: the level is the intended difficulty I had in mind when I designed the puzzle, but may play differently since every solver has their own area of expertise... what one person may find easy, another may find difficult.
Have fun and keep in mind if you're ever lost at sea, google is your best friend (actually, I don't know if you'd get internet service in the middle of the ocean)
