Hey, when I was a kid in the 90s if you wanted to see a picture of a raccoon you'd spend all day online waiting for it to load! If you knew the right guy at school though you could get a 1/4" floppy disk already loaded with raccoon pictures so you wouldn't have to wait so long...

5.25", or 3.5"? We had both at my parents' house in the 90s, but the standard was 3.5"

I think there may even be an external 8" floppy drive in my parents' barn.

This would have been around 95 or 96 so definitely 3.5" floppies. The same guy said he could get me bootleg copies of Duke Nukem 3D and Rise of the Triad and they both came on huge stacks of 3.5" floppies that he expected me to give back to him lol

I loved RotT, especially when you'd blow someone up and get an eyeball smearing down the screen hah. (There may be something wrong with me lol)
