Then the wonderful Atari ST1040 came along with floppy drives, perfect for the SSI games.

A great computer game company now sadly gone

I was digging around in some old junk yesterday and came across a 3.5¡± floppy, which I showed to my 20 year old nephew. He at least didn¡¯t comment something along the lines of ¨C ¡®cool, someone 3d printed the save icon¡¯.
