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. #retrogaming #gaming
@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 @trinsec Thanks, but that only cover the 3.5", not the 5"1/4. (And even then, since most old 3.5" compliant Apple hardware can right on both side of the floppy, there is still compatibility problems on that front.)
Still, thank-you for the info. 😉
