[QUOTE="InsaneNutter, post: 10394654, member: 110636"] I used floppy disks in the 90s / early 2000's. The first computer we got was an Amiga 500 that used 3.5" 720k floppies for everything. You could get hard drives for the Amiga, however that was not something we had. Games were loaded from floppies, sometimes multiple depending on the game. Our family got our first PC in 1998, floppies were the only way to transfer data between PC's back then as most people did not have a CD or DVD writer yet, or even the internet. I remember going to a cyber cafe in town and downloading a text guide from for Tomb Raider 2, saving it to a floppy, then printing it off at home and trying to get past the part on the opera house level my brother and I we're stuck on. We are totally spoiled today with video guides on YouTube 😅 We got the internet at home in 2000, however it cost per minute to be connected so our time was limited on it. My friend had heard from someone at School you could download something called an emulator and play a partially translated Pokemon Gold (the game was only out in Japan back then) We somehow found this online and managed to download it, then saved everything to a floppy, walked down the street and copied it to his grandads PC so he could play also. He would then use a floppy to bring his save game to my house on weekends and we'd use the link feature on NO$GMB so we would both play at the same time and trade Pokemon with each other. Needless to say when a shop in our town would import the US version of Gold / Silver for you, long before it was released here we did just that! It sounds so primitive reading that back, however times were totally different times back then 😀 [/QUOTE]
