no, I couldn't listen to the soundever again.DeathByNeuralStunner wrote:Ahh the good old days of the floppy disks
And I was barely alive for the last few years before they became obsolete.
Kind of like dial-up. *shudder*
Combine Garg and Apples in a bowl, simmer over medium heat for several years. Season with a pinch of regret.
The 5 1/4 sound was MUUUUUCH worse. When I turned the computer on in the middle of the night, the 5 1/4 floppy drive would wake up the entire house.

My uncle is one of the coolest people I've ever met.
He is the one who introduced me to Apogee and ID games back in the day. He was a huge fan of Keen, and thanks to him, I got to play the entire Keen series (including Dreams, excluding Keen5) when I was only three years old.
He worked for some computer company, so he gave me one of their old DOS computers they were just going to throw out when they upgraded their systems when I was about 7, which I used to play the entire Apogee and ID catalog religiously and make crappy Q-Basic games.
Ah, those were the days.
I used to have nearly the entire registered Apogee collection on floppy disks, but they got lost or destroyed over the years. I wanted to buy them back online, but they're so rare and expensive it's ridiculous. So for now, these treasures only exist in my massive 10GB archive of DOS games .ZIP files.

Also, another thread on the first page of the forum that this thread should have been posted in.
