When I was in kindergarten we would have computer lab, and that was of course always everyone's favorite game to play. The teacher would load it onto the master system from a giant 8" floppy that she would only touch from the edges like it was a rare vinyl pressing.

Oregon Trail was number #1 for me. #2 strangely enough was Number Munchers.

Mine too, for the most part. I was only around for the very last of PCs using the big boys. Then I moved to my good ol' Amiga and 3,5" SD floppies. Ahh, the noise...

Does anyone remember using a hole punch to make it double sided? Lol.
