Wissen auf Diskette: PC Flugzeug V1.5... eine definitiv etwas seltsame Edutainment Software für MS-DOS aus dem Jahre 1992. Fragt mich nicht. Ich archivier' den Kram nur! Viel Spaß! 😜

🎉 Wow, congratulations, you cracked the RSA keys from the 90s! 🥳 Next, maybe you can teach us how to use a floppy disk! 💾🔓 Meanwhile, the rest of us will be busy in 2023, dealing with quantum computing and AI, but hey, nice job on that decade-old math problem! 🚀🙃

Even though Greaseweazle reads this Amiga disk of "Space Quest" without any issues with 100% valid sectors, there's still an on-disk copy protection scheme hidden inside there. I just ran into a crash trying to boot from the simple 880K ADF Amiga DOS disk image. 🥺

Fortunately, using a CT-RAW disk image, made from the .raw streams, worked just fine and started the game. 😉

"Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards". From 1987 for the IBM-PC!

Another set of beautiful A2R and HFE disk images from "floppyarchaeology". This one also has an on-disk copy-protection. Everything's working perfectly. This is fun! :computerfairies: 😆

Nice! I just found working sets of "Applesauce A2R" and "HxC HFE" disk images of "Space Quest II" on the Internet Archive! As with many games from the 80s, these SQ2 disks are copy-protected! Their addition makes my collection even more EPIC! 😎

Preservation of retro games is important!

You desperately want to play a classic version of SimCity for the IBM-PC or Commodore Amiga, but you don't want to use these ugly and unreadable, red copy protection sheets?! - Fear not! Here's a way better version of those "All Time High Scores" in clean black & white!

Have fun! 😉

Falls da noch jemand Bock drauf hat: Hab gerade einen schönen Diskettensatz des Spiels "Die Siedler" für Commodore Amiga ins Internet Archive geladen! Die deutschsprachige PAL-Version mit kompletten KryoFlux Streams, CT RAW- und ADF-Images und Scans aller Datenträger in 600dpi.

Vielen Dank an @schnedan für die freundliche Disketten-Spende! 😎

My virtual Amiga 500 has very strict views concerning floppy disks and their copy protection! 😎 :clippy: 😉

- Running SpaceQuest straight from the ADF disk image: "Go. Fuck. Yourself!"
- Running SpaceQuest from the same KryoFlux stream, but using the CT-RAW disk image: "MY FRIEND!!!"

Thanks to a new upload by "lemonhead" and "Digitoxin", I could finally complete my personal floppy disk collection of the 1987 game "Larry Leisure Suit" for the IBM-PC, Version 1.0.

This game was copy protected, so it's always neat to have all kinds of disk image formats available. I just dumped and added my own TeleDisk image. It works!

If you're curious: Here's Digitoxin's collection of "Sierra On-Line" titles:

This. Is. AWESOME! Enjoy! 😉

Back in 1986 / '87, when I personally was still in Kindergarten, Two Guy from Andromeda created a fantastic graphic adventure game called "Space Quest". It became an instant hit and spawned several sequels.

Here's the original "Space Quest - Chapter I - The Sarien Encounter", Version 1.2 for Commodore Amiga. Including full KryoFlux streams, CT RAW and ADF disk images. Have fun!

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. 😜

Well, considering this is my very first physical Amiga diskette with a full-on copy protection, everything went way better than expected. Easy peasy!

I managed to extract a perfect KryoFlux stream from the protected disk and its copy protection tracks! Also, the resulting "CT RAW" disk image plays perfectly fine in the latest WinUAE Amiga emulator. Great success! 😜

Have fun:

When it comes to my retro games collection, I am usually trying to find every variant and every available version of a game. Sometimes, this is pretty easy. For games like "Space Quest I - The Sarien Encounter", it is not.

I just added Version 2.2, Interpreter 2.426, 3.5" / 720K as a copy protected TeleDisk disk image. It works!
