Ah, the good old times when I had to find and commission someone with a CD burner to copy Red Alert for me...

I was a bit before that, my group of friends liberally shared 5 1/4" floppies with C64 games on them. I also remember a demo being passed around where someone (not one of my friends) managed to encode about 10 scratchy seconds of "Why can't this be love?" by Van Halen onto a 360K floppy disk and it was amazing at the time.
