I miss the days when games were like this. No “family sharing”, no worries about if you got the game on Steam, GOG, or wherever else… just floppies and you played or leant out the game as you wanted.

@gpowerf And when you were so fed up with your parents playing the same game over and over again and hogging the computer, 6-year-old you could always run the finger over the exposed part of the floppy to make it unplayable and free up the magic box for yourself.

😇

@trinsec hey didn’t you have backups? And of course it still works. Yes… my main Linux box in 2023 does indeed have a floppy drive 😄

@gpowerf Who thinks of backups in the 80s? ;) Everything was expensive back then.
