Doom I and II, Rise of the Triad. Windows 3.1. Anyone else old enough to remember floppy swapping?

    A tape loading error after like 10 minutes always felt bad. I had a handful of games that I could never play.

    Being able to fit like 5 games on a single tape was pretty cool though. Better than these mountains of floppies.

      Hehe, yeah tapes had their up 'n downs. But for an impatient dude like me, they were infuriating… Still lightyears ahead of typing in hex-data from hundreds of pages in magazines for weeks, just to end up with a mildly working version of snake.

      And nowadays a cheap phone is a gazillion times more powerful in every possible aspect. Never even dreamed that big and here we are.
