“Please insert Disk 2 to continue the story.”
For the best
Ahhhh the actually floppy floppy disk. Havent handled one of them in at least a couple decade, but I can still hear the drive working in my head
I’m young but I still know that because each disk could not hold up lots of Gigabytes and or Megabytes they had to put them on multiple disks so you would have to install them one by one!
Ha, even at 32 it took me a second to recognize floppy lol
Man I loved that game.
Can you hear the sound of that arm that would click down over the drive slot? I don’t know if everyone had one…

My first foray with Activision, before the fall.
God damn. Too bad I can’t find my old kaypro.
Hell some early PC’s you booted from a diskette and had to take the boot disk out of the single drive and put in the program disk to run a program.
Error Cyclic Redundancy Check.
Shit there are young adults that don’t know about the floppy disk. They were quickly replaced with the 3.5 harddisk in the mid-90’s.
I’m old enough yo remember and it took me a minute to realize these were floppies because I don’t expect to see them anymore.
The golden era, imo, was waiting for midnight releases for PC games…WoW, COD, etc. Then getting all those CDs home to install. WoW had 5+ CDs every expansion. Then finally getting online at 2am to play with friends when we all had school the next day.
Preach my brother. Let’s not forget about way before that…. Zork
Mechwarrior 5 exists and is getting new dlcs still
Thinking back to late 90s, gaming is really not better now with all the garbage UI, patching, etc. Voice chat/Discord is a big improvement for playing with friends but that’s it.
Doom, Quake, Warcraft 2, Diablo, Tribes, UT we had it all in the late 90s… All had dedicated multiplayer servers, custom maps, mods, squads, updates, free dlc, etc.
I know enough that when people say “MW2” I definitely go straight to MechWarrior 2 instead of Modern Warfare…for the longest time that’s actually what I thought it meant lol.. Never played the first but definitely played the hell out of 2, 3 and 4 when they came out.
Edit: Ah ShitI just realized those are 5.25 not 3.5. Only computer we had that used 5.25 was an old Wang Industries desktop from the 80s.
Oh I do! This reminds of trying to install a-10 tank killer way back when haha!
My favorite game on a 386….
I remember playing this on my high school library pc got super ecstatic when mw2 came out those ppcs tho
I remember playing this on a Tandy 1000. This, F-117A and Das Boot were some of my favorites.
I only got
To play mechwarrior 2. Was a blast tho played whole game with night vision on , if you don’t know how that look it’s crazy
I remember having no idea what to do in this game but would still spend hours just exploring in the mech. Great times
Me either I started with 2
Also had a cool k’nex set of a mech warrior
I only still own one single floppy floppy.
It’s a copy of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy text adventure game.
Born in ’88. Some of my earliest gaming experiences include Unreal Tournament 2004 (goty edition). That game had like 12 or 14 discs to install in sequence!
It would fit on one double density 3 1/2 and I would bring it to the computer lab and at school and have the best time of my life.
Come on brother. Heroes of Might and Magic. Oh the classics! I am definitely on Boomer Station ready to jump on the Boomer train.
“kids” bro I’m in my mid 30s and when this game came out i was literally a baby. how tf old are you??
wtf man i didnt come here to be called old.
