| I GOT THE SOFTWARE I'VE LOOKED FOR SINCE 1995!!! |
Posted by: Scott Baret on 2007-07-18 16:00:51
So I stumble across this big box of software from a school. Naturally I want to look through it, especially because I'm always looking for more copies of the programs I have and like (if I can get 20 original masters of each I'd be one happy man). I also look for those I would love to have.
I get ahold of the box and think "naah, probably not" when I first look at it, with the thoughts of the Factory still in my head. Low and behold, there it is!!! In the original orange Sunburst binder with the teacher sheets!!!
I promptly installed it on my Plus and everything came back to me instantly after a 12 year hiatus. Sure felt great to use it again.
If you find any more copies of this let me know! I'm so happy I got it!
(I should also add--it was originally published by Wings for Learning, which I guess was eaten up by Sunburst--so you may know it by that title. The intro screen of the program says Wings even though the binder says Sunburst).

^ That video is a CLASSIC.
If only someone would make one along the lines of "Don't Give Me Your MP3" (hey, at least that rhymes). You know, to cut down on Limewire, other illegal P2P, etc.

Not for sharing, but if the floppy is destroyed in some freak accident, he has more.

Eh, it depends on how old it is. Old games from a company that doesn't exist anymore and nobody sells those games anymore, what else can you do? It's too hard to get true genuine copies anymore.
