Is it me, or do you find booting a game from disk much more 'romantic' than WHDload

[desiv]

I always really liked floppies...  Still do..
Now, I have whdload on my 1200 and for most of the games, I use that..
But I still like playing some of the 1 or 2 disk games (sometimes 3, but much less as the number increases..) from floppies..
The exception to that is Dragon's Lair..  Well, at least for demo purposes..
I love to play that from floppies from time to time, because I am still impressed with the way it streams from floppy while playing...  ;-)

Yer awe nutcases if you still use floppies...

Yes...
And your point is??  :roflmao:

...and since we can use our time much better to do something more productive

2 points..  
1:  You don't HAVE to do nothing while it's loading..
2:  Doing something productive....  in the context of loading a game???
3:  (I know, I said 2; I lied)..  Why be productive all the time?

Hmmm

Let's take this one along the path, for those who like the Amiga as a retro platform.

I like this game, but it's slow to load.  Let's put it on a HD.
I like this game, but the graphics could be better, lets add colors and increase the resolution.
I like this game, but the sounds could be better, more channels and higher bitrates.
I like this game, but it could be faster, lets put it on a faster machine..
I like this game, but having a changing camera perspective would be great, lets use an FPS engine..

Hey, this looks like every other PC game nowadays, I wish I had my old Amiga.
