I had a Commodore 64 in high school and I think I had one original game. I had about 20-30 copies that I got off of a couple of friends. Of course, what really bugged me about one friend is that he probably had 100's games he had copied from someone who let him do it, then he would make his other "friends" beg him for copies of their own. I guess it gave him a feeling of power.

Anyway, I never had documentation for anything, unless it was photocopied.

Some of the copying programs I remember(and they were copied!): Fast Hack 'em. Oops! That's the only one I can remember.

Oh yeah I was a C64 copyhound. There were only a few titles that the copydisc I had wouldn't work with. One was MicroLeague wrestling, one of the coolest wrestling games ever made in my opinion. Actual strategy wrestling.

What are you talking about? I still have tons of copied games (albeit not c64) -- then again, I'm also young and poor.

Fast Hack 'em was the Sh*t.

I caught the tail end of the C64 days, so I only had a few dozen floppies, but I have to admit I had just about every game released on the PC from 1986 through 1993 stored on floppies and tape back up. I just tossed hundreds of disks and tapes, I've kept only the really memorable ones that are unlikely to reappear... ever. Like STUNTS and WACKY FUNSTERS.

Heh heh...I had a Hong Kong-made "Game Doctor" for my Super Nintendo (it was actually called a "Super Famicom" in Asia), and must have had 150-200 3.5" floppies for games.

I had heaps, then I decided to get honest about the whole thing and stop pirating software! :D

Most of my software was copied back in my "Apple" days.

I had a about 200-300 games on 5 1/4 disk for the C-64 & the early Atari computers.

Also had a few hundred games for the Atari ST on 3.5 disk.

As for the Amiga Computers I had about 2000 3.5 disk with games on them. In fact me and a few of my friends use to by 1000 3.5 disk at a time from a company that was in Computer Shopper back in the day.

As for the Snes I ending up getting 3 of those backup units. My son still has one with about 300-400 games on 3.5 disk.

Lets not get into the PSX. ;)

I have tons of cd's with old games... most of which I have no reason to ever play again. Since I now play very few games, I buy the ones I want.

My cousin had a C64, and had a huge amount of copied games.
