similar except i designed my own games but used the tape drive to save them. Did get a 5 1/4 floppy eventually though

Loved the floppy drive in my Amiga 1000 when i got it, amazing leap foward flipping this bad boys like a frisbee to show iff :)

it did allow me to choose not to study programming at Uni nor peraue it as a career though, coding games in Assembler was fusking tiring

sys64738 indeed

still, LAN gaming with Doom after work on the office computer system with a few others was cool when I was the default computer nerd (but employed as an Engineer) in charge way back in the day.
