lol, thank you so much for bringing back the hugo's house of horror memories!
I didn't use the floppies for that, at the time I didn't have internet, so I would take my raft of AOL and Compuserv floppies to the local library and download everything I could from sharewaregames.com on their 33.6 dial up connection.
Those were the days indeed. Paying $39.95 a month for unlimited 33.6 dialup services from my ISP and another $29.95 for a dedicated POTS line.... *sigh* .... I miss those days
