Bullet Proof Software apparently gave out floppy disks that looked like this as contest prizes. They were blank floppies, though. No special game or anything like that on them.

The most effective and commercially successful household robots are stationary white cubes that usually cost under £300. The most effective and commercially successful household robots that are mobile are disks with wheels underneath that usually cost under £700. Neither are £25k+ bipedal humanoids
Can a robot do housework for you? Absolutely not, but you're more likely to believe one can if it has arms and walks around on two legs like a person

Enjoyed my last 90s-style ad for MYSTERIES OF OLD TOKYO so much that I "found" another one.

Every kid that gamed in the 90 had to jump through technical hoops just to play. From learning networking to data recovery of corrupted floppy disks, hacking the OS to get video drivers working, or to turn off processes so games had more resources. Anything to get the game going. Good times! 🤘🏻

And that's a wrap on Zero 3! Not a 100% run, I missed quite a few secret disks as well as a few EX skills but, it was fun going through it again. Probably gonna take a break and mess around with collecting some more stuff later

Interesting coincidence... I actually had a Sam Coupé when I was younger. 🤣
My dad worked for a company that supplied MGT (Miles Gordan Technology) with the parts / chips. When he used to visit them, he'd come back with a load of Spectrum games on floppy disks for me. 😁

No we never had a tape drive I used to really want one because sometimes there were games I tried to load and it would say INSERT TAPE and what the hell did that mean I only had floppy disks

I grew up in the perfect phase where in elementary school we had the oldest Macintosh computers with the green on green monitor and floppy disks, to having the clear iMacs in the high school computer lab when I was graduating. We were so naive then.

Played a bit more of the unstable 0.9 build of Voices of the Void. I... think I understand the new loop now?
- Signals remain the same, just triangulation's a thing now.
- Zip drives hold the hash codes, but you use FLOPPY DISKS to get the hashes.
- Reels are straightforward, fill up, plop in.

That's neat! My family didn't have laser disks. We were the record every movie off of HBO type to get our money's worth 🤣
