Floppy Disk Container

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 11:28, 12 May 2023

The floppy disk container sits on the right of Strong Bad's computer desk while he checks emails. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several Nintendo Entertainment System and Atari 2600 titles also appear), and most are obscure titles from the '80s and '90s. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email little animal, the disks were not labeled until ghosts. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances, they were labeled in blue. The Brothers Chaps sometimes comment on the featured game in their DVD commentaries. The series Strong Bad's Disk 4 of 12 features Strong Bad playing these games.

This page catalogs the appearances of the floppy disk container. Each section has an image, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game.

Floppy Disks

Image	Appearances	Explanation	Sources
	little animal, superhero name, do over (in the do over of sisters), candy product and isp	5.25 inch disks were a standard computer media format in the 1970s and early 80s. The term 'floppy' was coined for their similar but even larger 8 inch predecessor, as one could easily bend the disks enough to nearly fold them over without breaking them, a trait shared by the 5.25 inch disks. The 5.25 floppy disk was also featured in technology, outside of the Floppy Disk Container. They were superseded by 3.5 inch floppies by 1988; in modern computing, methods such as USB drives or cloud storage have become the standard for data storage and sharing.	Wikipedia Howstuffworks
	ghosts, 50 emails	Tongue of The Fatman was a 1989 fighting game for DOS and Commodore 64 that was later ported to the Sega Genesis as Slaughter Sport. Different alien races (including Human) could be chosen to use, who all had different abilities and fighting styles. The player could purchase weapons and devices and fight his way through multiple opponents to face the Fatman, Mondu. Some of the more innovative features include being able to place wagers on the outcome of the fight and the phenomenon of a special move becoming less powerful the more it was used to balance gameplay. Unfortunately, the game was plagued by unresponsive controls and an overly high difficulty.	Wikipedia MobyGames GameFAQs
