  • little animal: No label. 5.25 inch disks.
    • The 5.25 inch disks were the standard disk until the 3.5 inch floppies came out. The 5.25 inch disks are what gave both kinds of disk the title 'floppy', as you could easily bend the disks, enough to nearly fold them over without them breaking. They were replaced by the 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990's.

Image:Floppy_morning_routine.PNG
  • morning routine: "lode runner"
    • Lode Runner was a strategy type game for Dos and Apple, originally created in 1983. It was originally an ASCII game, where you (Jake Peril) were simply a $ sign (The enemies were ¶'s). The object of the game was to win back treasures stolen by the Evil Empire. Eventually re-released on the Apple II as 'Miner', it featured real graphics. Finally Miner was submitted to Brøderbund and was finally published, under the name 'Lode Runner'. There have been countless versions of this game made, generally by random people and circulated over the internet.

Image:Floppy_current_status.PNG
  • current status: "loom disk 1 of 24"
    • Loom was an adventure/RPG game for the PC, released in 1989. It was created by LucasFilm Games, the people who now almost exclusively make the very popular 'Star Wars' games. You are Bobbin Threadbare, the mysterious "Loom child" and member of the Weaver Guild who must embark on a perilous journey to follow his guild members who were turned into geese and flew away from the Loom island. You are given no traditional inventory, instead all puzzles are solved using a variety of spells all cast from a magical staff. There weren't actually 24 disks, at least not for the original version. There was the option of Six 5.25" Double Density (360KB) disks, or three 3.5" Double Density (720KB) floppies.


Image:Floppy_huttah!.PNG
  • huttah!: "star flight"
    • Starflight was a ship game for the PC, released in 1990. Mankind has for some reason left earth long ago, and colonized another planet. Then basically you just travel around the galaxy mining, gathering crew, fighting aliens, and trying to figure out why star systems are being blown up, without getting blown up with them. A very long winded game.


Image:Floppy_interview.PNG
  • interview: "rise of the dragon"
    • Rise Of The Dragon was a puzzle game for Dos, Amiga, and Sega CD, released in 1990. It was Dynamix's first game, presented in a Blade Runner-like environment and story. You assume the role of ex-cop William “Blade” Hunter, contracted to root out the source of a deadly new drug, MTZ, that ships in patch form and has a tendency to turn users into lizard creatures before killing them. There are a couple of arcade sequences but they are forgiving since they can be skipped if you die enough times.
