Whoa! Just stumbled on this!
Original ADVENTURE game on 8" floppy for "only" $599.99!
I should still have a couple 8" floppies saved in storage for kicks. Heck, one may actually have the original ADVENTURE game since I helped port it to the HP (from Unix) back in 1978!

I grew up in San Diego and a friend worked for this company. I remember laughing at this ad because who the heck needs 10 MB of storage anyway??? I waited until the price came down to $910 and bought one... *Sigh...* ?
Not good Paulo! You're supposed to be able to see the star ?
(Are we even allowed to use the word "naked" in these forums??)
That's over 252,849,462 times farther away then our Sun! (Or about 344,886,666,666,666,667 football pitches, give or take.)
I doubt we'll ever see the old pricing models again. Everything is SAAS now (Software as a Service) with monthly subscriptions. I hate them because I can't stand the thought of someday not being able to run a program because I didn't keep up with the subscription!
