Just for fun, could be interesting to see the preference of the majority.  :)

Multiple options.

EDIT: Meaning, you can select more than one option. Select all your favourite choices.

I'm probably the only person who prefers CDT to DSK... ;)

And me, to prefer a real 3" floppy... (remember, on a CPC)
Next steps, games that only work on emu and no more on a real machine...

I prefer not working on emu but on real CPC, like actually  :P
"NOP" is the perfect program : short , fast and (known) bug free

To me it doesn't make any difference.


I like physical editions as they are beautiful, but most probably I'll end up playing in an emulator because I can run it whenever and wherever I want.

Sure, it's easily understandable. :)
Now, the pool look to be more "logic" than yesterday... I can't imagine to no more use a real CPC, but like many peoples here I use emulators when it's not possible.

But, it's so different. It's like asking to peoples riding moto... To use simulators.  :-\

I think it's more like, a Formula 1 car, you cannot run on it unless you can go to a circuit (and it's quite expensive too) so you play a Formula 1 simulation game.


Ditto for flying commercial planes/combat aircrafts. It would be awesome to fly a Sukhoi Su-27...  ;D

I like physical tape the best even though I have a 3½" disk drive attached. Receiving a new game in the mail is just so much more exciting then loading a dsk file into an emulator or writing it to a disk.

I do like dsk files but physical tapes are just tastier.

Nothing beats a Panasonic 3" disc - indestructible and eternal  :)
