Lol what a great find.

He says if you buy a disk don't copy it buy one copy for every computer you have. gee how much were games back then?

no, seriously about the time this video was made how much would an average game cost? Surely a few floppy disks weren't $99 (thats Australian money) $50 or something for americans.

where have you been hiding, the American dollar isn't really the big currency it used to be, although I'm sure it will make a comeback.

eg. $1 AUD = 0.771 USD = 0.61 Euro = 0.42 British pound = 1.02 CAD = 46.33 Jamaican Dollar = 621.34 Zimbabwe Dollar = 6,521.12 Indonesian Rupiah (conversion rate on 9th Feb 2004)

I can't recall how much games were back in the 80's/early 90's as I never bought any myself, but they still weren't cheap. They weren't nearly as popular as they are now (obviously the quality was better though) so they were probably similar prices, well actually I don't even know how much games cost these days anyway, I still never buy them.

I'll have to check out the video to see what all the fuss is about

Bwhaha, good stuff. I especially liked the resurrected corpse of David Crosby posing as a programmer (and I don't think he's even dead yet).

I hope not, otherwise I recently saw a zombie perform.

Whoa, seriously, how long was Neverwinter Nights in development before they released it?

While I realise you were (probably) joking, there was an earlier Neverwinter Nights

Seems noone has pointed out that he's not really copying a floppy this time around.

Woo, pedantry.

Hehe well I was kinda wondering if they had postponed the project for 10 years to let technology catch up.... or something
