Reply to comment by JamieDB95 in [OC] visited a video game museum today this is the original master copy of DOOM 2 by kriskirby86

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.

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

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.
