Man, I haven't seen a 5 1/4 floppy or had a drive to read them in a long time.
I remember having a Space Quest, it must have been 5 or 6, that came on like a dozen 3 1/2 floppies. As I recall, you had the option to install to the hard drive, but I couldn't spare the room on my 40MB drive.
Playing from the floppies was agony. Almost every new screen you'd have to swap the disk, then sit there while the drive went *brap* *brap* *brap*. I almost went crazy trying to play it, practically beating my head against the desk to alleviate the frustration. I literally spent longer staring at the loading screen than I did actually playing the game.
