Me and my brother used to

In the early 90s, we lived near a store that let you rent pc games. My brother always made copies of the games so we would still have it after we returned the game. I remember all the endless floppies we had in our basement

The rental store guy admitted that he knew exactly what his customers do, and he didn't care

I was always paranoid by those large floppy installations because it always seemed there was ONE disk that had a corrupted file on it.

IIRC, the largest installation I remember seeing in real life was Windows NT. It had over 20 floppies.

There's a reason why renting PC games died really quickly lol

If that thing was on 8" floppies, it would take like 60 disks to hold that game.

Windows 98 (1998) was the last version of Windows able to be purchased on floppy disks. The 3" floppy disk edition of Windows 98 was mail order only and came on THIRTY NINE specially-formatted disks - each could hold 1.68MB (versus the 1.44MB of a standard floppy).

I think the first game I ever played that used two DVDs for installation was GTA IV on PC and I remember being amazed that we had reached the point of needing multiple DVDs.

Now we have games with install sizes of well over 100GB and we're just like "wow that's going to take like a whole three hours to download, fuck this inconvenience".

Imagine getting to disk 33 only to find that it's corrupt.

I watched a YouTuber do this exact thing. Installing Windows using floppy disks and he got almost all the way there before one disk crapped out. It was hilarious.

Why did I watch a video where it's basically just some guy putting floppy disks into a computer? Because it was a comfy watch.
