Digitalisiert hatte ich sie ja schon vor einer Weile, aber jetzt hatte ich nochmal das Glück, beide Bücher in schöner Qualität für meine physische Sammlung zu bekommen. Mich ärgert zwar immernoch, dass ich meine Originalfassung aus 1993 irgendwann verloren hab, aber jetzt hab ich endlich einen würdigen Ersatz im Regal!

"DOORS!" - eine alternative Shell für Windows 3.x.

Sometimes, it's actually not that easy to determine the exact age of an Amiga diskette, because they often didn't even bring a file system. For the game "Desert Strike", luckily, I could just find some information in the disk's root track. So, this one was formatted on October 8th, 1992. I was ten years old at that time. Oh, boy...

After all this time, SimCity still is one of my favourite video games ever. And after all these years of collecting, I am still finding new stuff!

Today, I just came across a pristine copy protected disk image of SimCity v1.1 for the Amiga. That one will happily run the game without the need to get any codes from the manual. Also today, I found a slightly more modern version of the Terrain Editor documentation, where they removed the instructions for ATARI systems. "Imho" an interesting bit of gaming history!

Yep, I guess I'm a nerd. 😜

An old, decaying floppy disk almost killed one of my drives today. Had to perform some serious head cleaning. Luckily, after almost half an hour of scrubbing, everything seems to be working again. Oh boy...

Ist vermutlich auch nur eine weitere dieser billigen 90er-Jahre Spiele-Sammlungen für MS-DOS, aber vielleicht hat ja hier auch jemand Verwendung und Nostalgie für diese Diskette.

Im Unterschied zur anderen "4-PC-Super-Spiele" Diskette hat diese hier nun ein weißes Label. Enthalten sind die Spiele "Megadschump", "Wari", Brix 3 Superlogic" und "The Incredible Adventures of Mad Mac". Wahnsinn!

Viel Spaß! 😜

Oh boy, I just acquired another OEM edition of Windows 3.1. This one brings 3.5", as well as 5.25" diskettes, which is pretty neat. I just love these big, old, wobbly floppy disks.😜
