Oh, cool! Telev78 just shared a working 5.25 inch disk image of the original TETRIS by MirrorSoft. Back in 1987, EGA was the fanciest available graphics mode on the IBM-PC! Hell yeah! Interestingly, this European release was slightly different from the Spectrum Holobyte version. Comparing them side by side using 86Box.

Thank you @Telev

Here's something I haven't seen before: A set of 5.25 inch demo diskettes for Windows 3.1! An official Windows 3.1 ad from Microsoft. From 1992... what a relic!

@todistraction told me about the fact that dutch train schedules have been released on floppy disk at some point

i can't find an archive of what these timetables used to look like, but it seems this is the floppy disk itself: https://www.lastdodo.com/en/items/1643459-ns-travel-planner-94-95

this was sort of related to me showing him client-side search implemented on a static website (which i'll launch soon ^^) and both of us marveling of how fast and satisfying it is

A floppy disk that fought back. 💾💥

KV300 antivirus (1996) came on special disks with hidden, un-copyable tracks. If it caught a pirated copy? It triggered a “logic bomb” — locking your hard drive until you manually repaired the partition table.

The police fined the company $400.

But for a while? Piracy had never been so dangerous.
