What took you five disks?
I think even the Heroes of Might and Magic I played was 3 disks, and it took ages!
And just yesterday I complained about having to wait over 2.5h to download and install a game over our 12 MiB / 100 megabit cable, I'm becoming spoiled…
Me having to explain.... LOL
Games that came on 5.25 floppy disks.
Sierra's Kings Quest 4 came on 9 disks.
Oh man, that is 11 years older than what I'd considered old! I hadn't even thought of those disks! That is a gem you have there!
