Floppy Deep Dive

This isn't DOSBox. This is TIE Fighter on a real 486 from 1992. Sound Blaster audio. Digitized speech. The Imperial March shaking your desk. Before Squadrons, before Battlefront... THIS was Star Wars. Real hardware. Real Empire. BOOM! #retrogaming #starwars #tiefighter #dosgaming

That Konami sound… you already knew you weren’t going anywhere 🔊🐢 Genesis or SNES? @gamesyouloved #TMNT #SegaGenesis #RetroGaming #HyperstoneHeist

Sound ON! Just hearing SEGA brings back instant memories! Then, of course, if you know how to select whatever level you want, Sonic Unlocked! Did you know the code? @gamesyouloved #Sega #Sonic #Secret #90sgaming #retrogaming

@The_Traveler333 @gamesyouloved Bye 👋

@FloppyDeepDive @gamesyouloved I lived it. Sorry, NO nostalgia there outside of playing the game itself. Anyone who had to debug things to get a sound card working, which most of the time didn't work at all, so you just didn't have sound, will tell you that it sucked ass. Go back to that if YOU want to. Bye!

They don’t make them like this anymore… Big box, manuals, installing just to get sound working, X-Wing was the full experience on PC. And when that Star Wars intro finally hit… it felt earned. X-Wing or TIE Fighter? 👀 @gamesyouloved #StarWars #RetroGaming #PCGaming

@CPCGAMINGDEMOS @brockpierson I was just giving credit to the person who really made this video, since he isn’t mentioned or given credit as the source.

@FloppyDeepDive @brockpierson ?

POV: It is 1985 and you are booting up Winter Games on a 5.25" floppy disk on your Commodore 64

@tommithetechie Never! and won’t feed after midnight 🕛😂

They multiplied! They're like Gremlins But please don't put them in water (or the gremlins!)

Cracking open the TIE Fighter big box on the 486. No DOSBox here, just real hardware and the sound of a CD-ROM spinning up. You didn't just play this; you joined the Empire. Imperial Pilot or X-Wing rebel? #RetroGaming #StarWars #TIEFighter #BigBoxPC #FloppyDeepDive

@DanielNBorge @gamesyouloved @HewsonJoystick Yes bad wording by me. How about Lost Masterpiece of the 8-bit era. I know It was huge overseas but in the US hardly anyone heard of it. Sold in the bargain bin.

@FloppyDeepDive @gamesyouloved Cant say this was ever underrated. Absolute genius @HewsonJoystick

Paradroid is one of the BEST games ever on the C64. It is also the most underrated because most people have never heard of it or played it before, which is shocking to me. Did you play Paradroid, and did you ever get the 999 robot? @gamesyouloved #c64reposts #c64 #retrogaming

Hogwarts in 2002! 🧙‍♂️ Replaying Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets on an actual Windows XP machine. No emulation, just pure nostalgia. That Whomping Willow fight was intense! Did you play this on PC or Console? @gamesyouloved #HarryPotter #RetroGaming #PCGaming #WindowsXP

This is where you ALWAYS died… and yeah… it still gets you! Aztec Challenge on a real Commodore 64. That music… the timing… the stress… Have mercy. Took me 40+ years, but I finally beat it. Did you ever make it past the first level? #retrogaming #commodore64 #c64reposts

@oldyzach Thanks, yep, all the fun of it is using my original hardware! Not a fan of people just stealing clips. That's weak!

@FloppyDeepDive I played it, of course. And it’s so great that you’re playing it on your own hardware instead of stealing clips from YouTube like a certain retro account that’s been popular lately 🥰

Before this… you never got inside the Death Star like this. Dark Forces on a real 486 PC just hit different. The blaster echo, stormtroopers yelling, everything felt alive. Did you play this back in the day? #retrogaming #starwars #dosgaming #darkforces #pcgaming

The pressure of the playground draft was real! 🏀 Street Sports Basketball (1987) on the #C64. I always grabbed Magic first, who was on your dream team? @gamesyouloved #c64reposts #RetroGaming #Commodore64 #Epyx #FloppyDeepDive

@Count_Dreg @gamesyouloved Agree 💯

@FloppyDeepDive @gamesyouloved I don't think I ever had a 5.25 floppy fail. Those 3.5 S.O.B.s though, all the damn time.

Before downloads and Steam sales, we had the 5.25" floppy struggle. 💾 Installing Wing Commander was a high-stakes mission. If one of these 3 disks failed, you weren't flying anywhere! 🚀 Real hardware only at Floppy Deep Dive. @gamesyouloved #RetroGaming #WingCommander #DOS

@Karasuma_usb Thanks!!

すげえ良いパソコンだなあ。

@CharlesHawn66 What did you do in GEOS?

Here I am trying out GEOS on my new Commodore 64 Ultimate Founders Edition for the first time. I forgot how good and ahead of its time this program was. #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore
