In one of the most revolutionary first-person shooters of the 1990s, players control the last remaining space marine in the demon-infested stations on Mars' moons.
I'm sorry, but I highly disagree. That is not to say that floppies are bad. In fact, I honestly still use them. They are great for programming and safe storage. However, they are not fast, nor are they entirely reliable as they are prone to getting the dirty disk virus. That happens when disks are near magnets for a prolonged period of time. the magnets don't have to be strong either. It could be a petty refridgerator magent that messes up a disk. In other words, floppies require lots of care.
If you want to know what I think the best form of interchangable media is, then I'd have to say it is the solid state cartridge. They aren't affected by magnetism, they are most durable format, they are faster than any disk or optical disk, and they are simply the most reliable format. The only thing anyone needs to do to keep cartridges in prime condition is clean them every once in a while. If there's any format they need to go back to, it's solid state cartridges. Technology has improved and solid state storage devices are getting cheaper to make and buy. So, why not??
i loved how you could move the metal part and how you could copy protect them with a small switch that was near the bottom of it... HAAaaaaa good old times....
