I recently acquired my family's stash of old 5 1/4" floppy disks from my childhood, so I thought it would be fun to flip through them all on video. They are almost all for Commodore 64/128 and Atari 8-Bit computers, and the vast majority of them contain games. I've added many screenshots to this video for interesting or obscure games just to give you an idea what each such game looks likes. Some remain a mystery even after I edited this video, as my Googling efforts have yielded nothing! (By the way I generally do not show screenshots of the super famous games such as Pac-Man.)

Let me know in the comments if you think any of these games are great, or terrible, or would like to see me play any of them live on this Youtube channel!

One interesting thing to note is that most of the great Electronic Arts games that my family had are probably still in their original vinyl-record-like sleeves, as those were the perfect places to store those disks. So they are underrepresented here. Those are some of the best games of all!

Anyway, enjoy the video!
