Mario is not a fine platformer. Ummm ok
Actually I never liked Mario either... I loved New Zeland Story though :)

I'd argue VHS tapes are a bit more resilient, one bad bit on a floppy and you could be screwed.

...not to mention VHS tapes aren't likely to get virii!
2bits actually, the MFM encoding on the floppy disk actually stores each data bit as two physical bits on the disk... Hmmm but I don't think MFM supported error correction... So maybe one bit error would kill the data... Piru, help... ;)
