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! 😜

"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: 😆

Gen Zers were handed a floppy disk. Their bafflement over how to use it is wild to see.

A user named "Circuit Rewind" recently shared his pristine copy of SimCity 1.07 for MS-DOS on the Internet Archive. Perfect disk images, as well as a good disk scan. I just thought you guys should know. Highly appreciated! :computerfairies: 😃

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! 😉

Oh, wow! There were so many different versions of SimCity graphics sets! Ancient or Future Cities… US, as well as European editions… Versions for Amiga 512K or 1 meg. The IBM-PC versions were also released on 3.5“ or 5.25“ diskettes. And, I guess, there were Macintosh versions, too. I personally only have these 4 boxes.

From 1991, here are both of the SimCity graphics packs for Commodore Amiga. "Ancient Cities", as well as "Future Cities" for the 1 Meg Version of the game. Of course, you need the main game to use these. 😎

Oh, look what I just received in the mail! SimCity Graphics for the Commodore Amiga. These disks are for the 1 meg version of the game.

Right now, KryoFlux is doing its thing…

💾🤡 BREAKING NEWS: Local "Computer Wizard" spends a whole day using 1980's tech to outsmart $200 software protection system. Apparently, our hero invested in a legit license just to flex their floppy disk #hacking skills. Lesson learned: Software developers, beware of the Copy-Paste Sorcerer! 🧙‍♂️✨

Behold! I just uploaded another legendary adventure game from 1987 to The Internet Archive! Here's "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards" for the IBM-PC on copy protected, 360K 5.25inch floppy disks. The upload includes Greaseweazle streams, as well as MFM, 86F, TD0 and IMG disk images.

Have fun!

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:

San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) was the first agency in the US to adopt the floppy-based automatic train control system in 1998. It was supposed to be in place for 20 to 25 years. It entered its 26th year of service in 2024.

The last #floppydisk was made over a decade ago and doesn't even have enough capacity to store a modern smart phone picture, so why do some people still love using them?

Qui donc utilise encore des #disquettes ?
