My first copy of Win95 was on floppy, 13 if memory serves me.

My first computer only had two 5 1/2” floppy drives. Everything required a swap.

There's like 5 games here, how did you count up to 90s.

I remember finding Keen Dreams and the original Duke Nukem on 5¼ at a dollar store and having to use my grandma's old computer to copy them onto 3½. Think I had a 150Mhz Packard Bell running Windows 3.1 at the time. I still think Keen Dreams sucks, I cannot reckon with that game having already played Secret of the Oracle. Original Nukem holds up though, chunky retro fun.

I also remember getting fitted for my first pair of glasses and then running across the mall to get Space Quest V from a Babbages or some place. I was enthused the whole ride home about how clear I'd be able to see my video games.

... I was always destined for Lemmy.

I used to run DOS 5.2 from a 5.25" on a Tandy 1000. The floppy was infected with the Stoned virus.

old enough to remember floppy swapping?

I'm old enough to remember floppy flipping.

3.5" floppies were for rich folk. I waited for my games to load from cassette tapes.

I saw this and all my joints ached. RotT was one of my groups' favorite games.

I have lots of SW on floppies. Don't use it anymore, but I still have it! Windows down to ver 1.1, OS/2 2.0 and up, dBase III, Turbo Pascal, etc.

I used to love the swag in the box. Ultima used to have cloth world maps.

Yeah absolutely. Feels very nostalgic to see floppy disks.. Used to have lots of pirated games as a kid.

And the games were a lot of fun. Every game felt like it was exploring something new. Fun times.

Rise of the Triad fuck yeaaaa

Looks like the image has about 90 pixels in it too

I see this picture and I hear the music for E1M1.

I miss ROTT. I played it on dosbox a while ago along with Dune.

Nice.
