I received around 50 floppy disks that the company I work for would throw away. There’s nothing classified or important in them, so I can format it normally. My question is: how can I use them in a creative manner? Mainly retro gaming related, but definitively open to other ideas.

Of course, the most obvious thing to do would be to discard it or use it as decoration, since they have much less space when compared to other media. But since you also like retro tech around here, I think you’d agree with me that there’s some charm to using old technology.

I thought about storing some NES and Game Boy games, as well as games from other consoles that don't take too much space. That way, I could play them on an old computer, maybe using Windows XP (or a version prior to it).

(I’ll maybe store some of the books I eventually write, since I’m an amateur writer and text documents are so small – of course, I’ll back it up in other places too).

Any other suggestions/tips?
