I own both, but on a set of 3.5" floppies somewhere in my dad's basement. If they even still work... Doubt I'll be able to claim my copy somehow.

It's an upgrade to the DOOM (1993) and DOOM II versions on Steam currently, which usually are only $2-3 each from what I remember.

Seems like it's available on consoles too.

I was going to say the same thing - will they send me a floppy disk with the upgrade?

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 3 months ago

That would put me in a bit of a pickle, my last floppy drive went out of business sometime in the mid 2000's. As soon as bootable USB sticks for recovery became viable, don't exactly know when. But in my last 2 desktop computers I doubt I used the floppy drive once... Built them in mostly out of nostalgia. Or habit maybe.

They should!

But ONLY if you write them a handwritten letter and mail it to them!

I hope so.
