During work last night I had a game stuck in my mind, but I couldn't remember the name. I spent an hour thinking "what was the name of that old Sega arcade shooter where you play a jetpack guy who flies forward and shoots fireballs at dragons and one-eyed mastodons?"

I could even remember the NES game that it inspired: 3D World Runner. But I could not remember the name of this game and it was killing me until my next break where I could get on my phone and look it up.

This must be how people with Alzheimer's have to suffer when thinking of the names of their loved ones.
