Weird question from a vague old memory I have... I once seem to recall playing a version of Trial by Fire, likely hacked or something, where after Shema's dances instead of the usual applauding message it says something about screaming in horror and begging Shema to stop. Anyone else remember anything like that or am I just losing it??

You're thinking this might have been a Sierra Easter egg? I never recall seeing or hearing about anything like it. If you are remembering correctly at all, it was likely intended as a joke, as that response makes no sense in context. I don't think AGDI put anything like that in their remake and that remake has plenty of new Easter eggs.

You may be thinking of the AGD Interactive remake? There's a 1/75 chance of getting Rick Rolled instead of seeing Sheema's Dance. I think at the end you look away in disgust or something to that effect.

Ha, I never heard about the Easter Egg in the AGDI remake. It may be they put in so many, however, I'll never see them all.

By the way, I'm sure I sound ignorant, but who is Rick Rolled?

Oh, Rick Rolling is this internet meme phenomenon where you expect a link to an answer to a question, but instead the link sends you to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" song. When you receive one of these links, you are said to have been "Rick Rolled." Various incarnations of this joke/meme pop up in various places, including game Easter eggs.
