Pirating Games

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/ockNRSt3Nsk

Software piracy was not just a big deal in the 80s. Pretty much everyone who owned one of the then-modern computing powerhouses was involved. I personally remember times when friends of friends downloaded disk images for the Amiga over days via slow modem connections to more or less known BBS, only to then realize that disk 12 had a CRC error.

The good old days. 👴

Dimitris, known as @ModernVintageG, has a similar history and beautifully summarizes his own experiences with the C64 and Amiga from that era in his current video. A piece of nostalgia for a few relaxed minutes in between.
