That looks pretty good (It read perfectly after transplanting the media into a new jacket)

The original 1987 ShareData release of Jeopardy for the Apple II had this clue, in the category Fictional Captains: "He sat at the helm of the Starship Enterprise", with the correct answer being "Captain Kirk"When the game was re-released under the GameTek brand in 1990, it had been been updated to accept either Kirk or Picard.

@foone I played the shit out of FROCKS which was a "Boulder Dash"-like game called "Herman and the Falling Rocks". Eventually even got the registered version of it which had the a level editor. Probably still have it around here somewhere on a floppy very much like the one in the photo.

@foone Apple III had a pretty chunky cast aluminum chassis with plastic covers.

@a2_4am Crime and Punishment would be a pretty good candidate for @foone 's death generator

I think we should all start calling computers "microcomputers" again just to confuse young people.
