This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not OP. I remember when I was little, playing computer games that were completely on the keyboard (we didn't even have a mouse.) They were stored on floppy disks and would start up by just inserting them into the computer. I'm not sure if you're asking as a fellow old-school gamer seeking nostalgic connections, or as someone who's never played old games and is simply curious, but I did find this list of early games pretty interesting.

There are a number of adaptations of classic arcade games, pop culture tie-ins, and even flight simulators. It amazes me how much floppy disks used to be able to accomplish.
