Japanese X68000 Game Disc Warnings Amuse

Posted by simoniker on from the no-gnawing-on-your-floppies dept.

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.

    Reminds me of the Beagle Bros., a fanatical cult of Apple II developers.
