People don't know this but those are VIP premier passes to the Doom movie!

Oh look, fancy fucker's got a double sided high density micro floppy drive. Only two discs! We're all living in 2017, he's living in 3017.

The new cover art was so stupid. I really liked the throwback art they did for it too.
octopuswithabaseballbat
God cover art used to be amazing! Long live 80s 90s style!

I remember having to bank like 9 hours of time on the BBS I downloaded it from. Took me a month.

Somewhere in my house, in a box, that we accidentally sealed in a wall, there is a boxed Doom and an old Dell running Windows 3.1

I need to find my Wolfenstein 3D diskette. Dad brought it home one night after work and said "Don't tell your mother I gave you this". :)

I have an old pc laptop with a drive for those floppy disks built into it. It still works and I store movies on it.

I'm trying to explain to my 12 yr old son just how much data these could hold in comparison to 128gb micro sd cards ... shit blew his mind.
communicationbreakdown
We had a game called "pacific strike" which was a ww2 warplane game. Had 8 installation discs!!!
tornadosandwich
I'm pretty sure floppies were never all that expensive. 128gb micros are stupid expensive

Was anyone there that can confirm that Jews died

JFK is a more appropriate one based on the kid's reaction

Use the same type of comparison: let him try to fit inside an ashtray and make a comparison ... I think I went a bit too dark here
Cereaza
That is a good way to convey it. "Fun Fact: for every byte on that floppy, a Jew died!"

Tell him about AOL

Our first computer didn't even understand high density floppies :D
Tirade
That was double sided high density. Single sided were 720k, earliest 3 1/2 inch floppies were only like 350 or so if I recall correctly.

320k and 360k, yep

About one picture of the same physical size at an okay resolution.
Rymdblomma
but whats the point of an okay resolution when your monitors have 19 pixels and the only color they show is green?
GlenL
Son, see this picture of a floppy disk? Its filesize is too large to fit on a floppy disk
ImIntoSomeWeirdStuff
The picture is 454 Kilobytes big wich means you can fit it at least 3 times on it unless you change the data typ

I ran Wolfenstein on a Wang 286. I blame that game for the nosedive my grades took that year :)

I love new and old video games

Old School Wing Commander and the Ultima series. RPG technology peaked at Ultima 7. Heck yeah I'll pick your pumpkins.
Mackdi
I'll go one further. I used to play games on giant 5.25 inch floppy disks. Yes, they were floppy.

Wolf3D was my first FPS
ArdentSlacker
I felt a chill when I first heard a door in that. Back then, that kind of sound quality was a big deal.

I love how wolf3D and Doom were not actually 3d games but 2d (wolf) and 2,5d (doom). sauce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb6Eo1D6VW8

Same here. My dad purposely didn't explain to me how shareware worked, so for two decades I though episode one was all there was
magmadar
same here then quake 1-2-3 doom 1-2 , HALT HALT SPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN NEIN SO WAS (which i always understood as MENSTROWARS"
creepwood
Doom was before quake though but I get your point. I was super into Nine Inch Nails in the later half of the 90s, super excited about quake
pizzapartyhard
Same, except for whatever reason, we didn't have the game, just WolfEdit, so we could only play levels we created ourselves.
creepwood
