Well, every new computer I build always gets the old 5 1/4" floppy drive installed. Just in case I want to load up an old game in that format.
I just remembered that I played "Bane Of The Cosmic Forge" off 5 1/4" disks, because the computer had no harddrive, only 2 floppies. I ran my video through my VCR to my TV because the computer I had didn't come with a monitor and I couldn't afford one either. Instead of taking notes in the game I'd tape the info I needed on video cassette.
Ah, the good (bad?) old days!
