..then it wasn't a 1.44MB microfloppy. The largest capacity 5.25" disks ever made were 1.2MB.

oh wow. hmm.. I HAVE bought a buncha shareware games back then for $5 Cdn each.. But I think the "last" s/w I bought was Mortal Kombat (original) for the PC. Cost me about $40-50 Cdn. Maybe 3 disks?

Also, it could be a 3 pack of games.. Gunship 2000, Plane sim (can't remember name), and Indy 500.. Probably $30 Cdn. And 3 disks..

Gunship 2000 was one of the best games I have EVER played!

My disk got corrupted

I bought a sealed copy of IBM OS/2 2.0 (or some similar version) in 2005 for maybe $15. It comes on at least 15 floppies, not sure it's still sealed
