Tetris on a 5.25" disk
I'm sure the act I am about to
describe will be condemned as
sacrilege of the highest order by
my peers in the geek community: I
destroyed a 1987 version of Tetris
loaded on a 5.25 inch floppy disk.
To those who would denounce my
actions, consider that I did not
destroy, nor attempt to destroy,
the essence of Tetris. Indeed, the
essence of Tetris lives on in every
cell phone, in every Game Boy,
and in the hearts and minds of
everyone who has played it. This
copy of Tetris had become
outdated and unplayable, and so it
was "retired" with all the dignity
and respect befitting one of
history's greatest games.
Thanks to "Paul #2" for suggesting
a 5.25 inch floppy!
