Holy hell, Adrian Carmack must have been the first to sign. His autograph takes up a quarter of the disc!

Or the last to sign and had to fill in all that empty real estate.

It's well known that programmers have the tiniest writing.

Fun fact: 86% of programmers can't spell in their native tounge and 43% exclusively speak in C++

If I were JC I would have made a funny by just blacking out the V on the disc and calling the remaining letters my signature, but Bobby already stole that joke from me by signing over the letters.

It's right underneath the doom disk :')

The blue gamecube above it was also used for the first lego star wars

I saw the blue gamecube also the red one

TG-Sucks t1_iufmlpb wrote on October 30, 2022 at 11:20 PM

Do you know if the disc still works? Aren’t they all destined to eventually degrade? Some of my game discs from the mid 90’s started to become corrupted already after ten years or so.

JamieDB95 t1_iufmt0i wrote on October 30, 2022 at 11:22 PM

Must admit I have no idea.

We have plenty of disks from that period that do work but that one is very precious too us so I can't imagine it even leaving the case

CocodaMonkey t1_iufv7u8 wrote on October 31, 2022 at 12:27 AM

CD's can last for decades or even centuries if kept in good condition. I still have actual floppy disks from the 80's and 90's that read just fine and they deteriorate much faster.

Sheffield City Centre :)

Abnmlguru t1_iuh7l0h wrote on October 31, 2022 at 9:12 AM

Because it's a pet peeve of mine:

Something can't be "highly" unique. Unique is a binary state, it is or is not unique. On or off, there are no degrees of uniqueness. Highly unusual? Sure. Extremely rare? That too. Very unique? Nope.

Normally, I'd seethe with internet annoyance quietly to myself, but I expect better from a museum.

JamieDB95 t1_iuh8v30 wrote on October 31, 2022 at 9:32 AM

I'll pass it on to the team :)

But most museums are full of spelling/grammar mistakes, easy to miss when you have hundreds of bits out

There is also the Home Computer Museum in Helmond, Netherlands which is more of a general computer museum but does have the largest collection of game boxes in the world.

Because it would be seen as a collectors item. It's in an actual museum and is the master copy of one of the most known video games of all time. Maybe that's why you would want it for your collection, just maybe.
