I'm sure you have played the game in your time. I moved all the magazine cover disks to one side so I could dig through the vast mountain of copy disks. These are games disks that came with various computers that I have purchased over the years. Thing is I would only find like two or three of a set of four disks and then need the last. So I would have Syndicate disks one and three and need two and four. Now multiply this by a thousand times and what I have is the biggest game of pairs ever. Spread out over every flat surface upstairs I had the disks and it was just a case of matching up the sets. I also have boxes elsewhere to sort through. ' Now where did I put that Desert Strike Disk II ? ' Sad when you are short of one disk and know its hiding somewhere. Took me all afternoon but I managed to find most sets. I have been fortunate also to have been the beneficiary of a number of collectors sets of disks and they generally are identifiable by the way the labels are written. One very good set of disks have very small labels and the guy wrote equally small. Incredible quality of disk and because of the label easy to identify. Another guy used a red marker to number every disk and again those are easy to identify. It is little surprise that disks that have poorly worded or badly written and damaged labels very often hold dreadful disks which muck up my drives. I have a very tall stack of disks and never use them Anyway onwards . Pictures on the site of all the fun today. scuzz Welcome to cover disk mountain and yes that is three boxes of Blizzards thar ... Two Amiga 4000ds in the background being used as shelves for the disks and such Many of the disks are still in their plastic sleeves from the front of the magazines. Note the CD32 Communicator up top. Not just disks but also discs. Though my actual CD collection is on a shelf down the stairs due the weight of the discs.
