    Fun Fact: I started “archiving” games off of BBS back in the intel 386. By the early 2000’s I had hundreds of games and apps going back to Zork and other very early PC, backed up in hard drives, CDs, and Zip Drives. I have no doubt that I might have had one of very few copies in existence of some games.

    Sad Fact: They all went missing after one of our moves. All I have left are a small stack of zip drives and no zip drive to read them with.

    The point is that, had it not been for a moving mishap, I would have copies of long lost games to share with the world, all thanks to piracy.
