I go outside the class with the teacher, and my mate is standing there looking sheepish. I started to get a sinking feeling in my stomach. Oh shit, what have I done? Is there something wrong with a family member? My mate was close with my family, and that was all I could think of. Then the teacher comes into the class and asks my teacher to speak to me. I'm watching them, and I think 'What's he in trouble for now?'. It was crazy.Īnyway, one day I'm sitting in my standard grade physics class, and I see a mate of mine standing outside the door with another teacher.

I ended up getting listed in the 'Greetz' from a few of the bigger groups on their releases, so somehow these disks were getting around. I'd put wee things hidden away on the disk like shout-outs to my mates and things like that, that they'd probably never see.

I also did things like do a version of Champ Manager and Champ Manager Italia on one disk that could save to the same disk. It was mainly for myself to save on disks, have everything in one place that I used regularly, but also for my mates who had Amigas, but were a fair bit less computer-savvy. I'd put an intro on it, and stuff like that.

In the Amiga days, I used to make utilities disks, gathering all the newest and most useful utils and putting them on one disk, with a menu made in DPaint, where you would press an F-key to load the one you wanted. zips were passworded from what I hear, Blobby series CDs from around 1996 violated the Red Book standard, and had 4 files of the same name in the root) of these - especially because people (like Mortis in this thread!) are throwing them out.Īny idea about my vague memory of voodoo as a title? zips, and increased with Blobby 10, whose menu had protection and whose. I'll try to chime in with my knowledge: and I'm always looking for ISOs (or even better, MDF/MDS dumps made by Alcohol 120%, as I know later Blobby-series CDs were heavily protected - this started to happen with Blobby 9, which renamed all the. Unless you count my copy of Visual Studio 6 Enterprise, which came from the Suite Dreams creators, and even though they were second-hand copies, the original cover also got photocopied. I hear some had great covers though.Īs a collector of such CDs, it's always nice to find such topics when Googling. If you want pictures, I'm afraid you'd be out of luck, as I only ever had second-hand copies of the warez CDs themselves. wav of that time also!) however, some rotted and others were lost, before I could image them I used to have a few Suite Dreams CDs from 1998 that did this too (and reshacked a Corel autorun.exe too, and included the Corel autorun. I have somewhere an ISO of Dragon Utils 1 from 1996 that does exactly this. Some of the stuff mentioned on the list was completely missing, others ('CAMIPRO', 'CWIN31') were Traditional Chinese.Ģ) I hear that putting floppy images on CDs was very popular in Taiwan.Īnother thing I know about is later, around 1996, warez CD authors in the UK started to reshack Dennis Publishing's magazine cover CD browser and use that. Namely because of the following two facts:ġ) I have Cappuccino 2, it's obviously a rebrand of some Taiwanese warez CD. The ones I had were Cappuccino and basically had a ton of floppy images on there Next time I'm home I'll try and have a dig, but I suspect it is long gone. Pretty sure I got one from a mate and it had things like Mechwarrior 2 on it. The word voodoo.But I'd say it was later than floppies. I'm just wondering if anyone else had these, where they came from, who made them and are any of these relics still around these days? It was fairly user friendly and, in my memory at least, was reminiscent of those trainers you'd see at the start of an amiga copied game. The actual front end had some work put into it. I'm almost positive it was called 'voodoo' something or other, and to install the game you had to select each individual zip file - each represented a disk) and extract them to a c: folder and/or onto blank 1.44mb disks. But of a weird one this, but I was chatting to a guy in work today about how, back in the nineties I was able to procure (and I can't remember how) a copied CD full of disk versions of many popular pc games at the time.
