90s games on floppies
90s games on floppies
Doom I and II, Rise of the Triad. Windows 3.1. Anyone else old enough to remember floppy swapping?
Dyskolos @lemmy.zip These youngsters and their modern floppy witchwork. We real cavemen used tapes. And they were so much cooler than punchcards 😁
Nothing beats "insert disk 3592"after a day of loading only to see disk #3592 sadly had an error. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but...

Well, there's a series of words in a seemingly-coherent sentence I never expected to read.

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

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

I remember reading this joke press release about how Microsoft was renaming itself to Moft. Their name appears so much in Windows that the shortened name would let them use one less floppy disk and it would save them so much money. After feeding 24 floppies into a new computer one time I completely believed the joke and embarrassed myself by telling other people the big rename was coming.
1 0 ReplyLost_My_Mind @lemmy.world I wonder if that's what my parents mean when they say they used to be into couples swapping.
Just a couple of floppies. Swapping around. Swinging those floppies. Just a couple of swingers. Swinging and swapping floppies......
.........and then sleeping with each others wives.
