Hahaha, I remember OctaMed. My older brothers had A500s then A1200s. I had a CD32 for a while too until realised it was a dead platform (although Liberation kicked arse).

I know that feeling lol, I had 'friends' who were only friends because they got games from Singapore and the UK and I'd just want to pirate them but we weren't actually friends.

What's funny to me is that I didn't know his mother was pirating all of these games until I was much older and realized none of them were on commercial floppies.

But I don't have any room to judge, not that I would, because my brother gave me a whole bunch of pirated Apple II games. I had an Apple IIe and my grandparents had the C64 (but it was basically mine because they didn't know how to use it).
