At the Czechoslovak Game Archive, we have recently received and digitized a version of the Robot Karel educational programming environment for the Czechoslovak IQ 151 home computer stored on a vinyl record: https://herniarchiv.cz/en/blog/88-robot-karel-na-vinylove-de...

This reminds me that I once had a computer magazine from the 80s that came with a green vinyl record "single" that had a game on it for a popular computer, perhaps the Commodore 64. It was useless to me as I had a Z80 machine, but a curiosity.

I remember loading the game Frogger off a cassette tape onto my friends old Commodore 64 at the time. That blew my mind at the time!

Cool idea but it doesn't even work after the hour long video

This should be labeled humor or taken down. I did laugh though
