  • superhero name: No label. 5.25 inch disks.
    • The 3.5 inch disks were the standard medium for storing data until replaced by the Compact Disk. They still survive by being rewritable, therefore used for very small files trasfer. They will likely be completely replaced by the Compact Disk within a few years, once repeatedly rewritable Compact Disks are perfected.

  • 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 origional version. There was the option of Six 5.25" Double Density (360KB) disks, or three 3.5" Double Density (720KB) floppies.
