    That’s fine. I’ll make my own internet. With blackjack, and hookers. In fact, forget the internet!

        i used to love visiting computer labs and internet cafe’s because people would always put games on them by carrying floppy disks around with the games one them.

        “line wars” is the one that i saw the most often and i loved fucking with the game’s AI

        i was introduced to porn through a floppy disk that i found on the ground at one of the laboratories too. lol

        Yep, same. Well I actually remember finding the best ways to copy a game on a tape error free first. Some, without protection you could just save back to tape for a digital reproduction (and this also allowed tape to disk conversion). Actually those with non destructive copy protection could kinda be copied too if you knew a little Z80 ASM. Others, you needed to copy tape to tape and hope the quality turned out OK.

        But yes, then bringing your box of copied disks (Amiga in my case) into school and swapping with your friends was the way to go.
