Japanese X68000 Game Disc Warnings Amuse

Thanks to NFG.2y.net for its new feature cataloging the amusing-looking floppy disc warnings featured on classic game sleeves from the Sharp X68000 Japanese computer. Highlights include the Capcom sleeve illustrations, where "the Street Fighter 2 characters exhorted you to take good care of your floppies", as well as some strange warnings from Japanese developer Zoom, including the suggestions that users "don't bathe with your floppy", and a cautionary tale about dropping your hardware.

    Anata no baka desu. (I'm not American, I also haven't studied Japanese for a decade. Fuck I feel old)

    Anyway, if you'd taken the time to, you know, read the fucking article, you'd notice it's not hasseling the Engrish, but rather, making note that the illustrations are, in fact, quite funny.

    Jumping to claims of racism. You must be fatally pollitically correct. Whoops, I mean, pollitically correct in a life-challenged manner.

    For future reference, read the article before complaining about it's contents.
