Having seen this when it was originally released, I have no need to click on that play button.

And yes, it was real. There was a big campaign. Once, a friend of mine used the school video capture card to grab this off of a tape we had, then compressed it into tiny video and put it on a floppy.

In retrospect, the irony isn’t quite as funny.

I remember this when it came out, but we didn’t have “video capture cards” to get it into our computers at the time.

I don’t think it ceased the growing piracy concern; my teachers themselves were the ones trotting around megabytes of pirated games. Megabytes!

I feel suddenly very old.

As I recall it fell down a bit, too.

Lots of dodgy market traders got away with *selling* pirated software – because people had been told not to trade copied software “without paying”…

Wait wait wait…

What’s a “floppy?”
crackers

It is slang for a flaccid penis.

But not nearly as flaccid as this timeless piece of popular culture.
