I finally got the original Star Wars Rebel Assault running on a real 486 PC with a CRT and CD-ROM…

…and after all these years, I still can’t tell if this game was actually hard… or if we all just sucked back then.

Beggar’s Canyon, asteroid field, Planet Kolaador… it doesn’t get easier, it just tricks you.

👇 How far did you actually get?

👇 ABOUT FLOPPY DEEP DIVE 👇

Hey, it's Tom from Texas! Floppy Deep Dive is dedicated to Real Hardware and Real Nostalgia. No emulators. No filters. Just the crackle of the CRT and the mechanical grind of the disk drive.

I make these videos for the folks who spent Saturdays swapping floppies and still get chills when the SID chip kicks in. We dive deep into the Golden Age of PC gaming, reignite the classic 8-bit wars (C64 vs Atari!), and hunt down the rarest software on earth. Whether you're Team Commodore, Team Atari, or just miss the 90s, you're in the right place.

The Mission: Preserving the sights, sounds, and "craptacular" quirks of classic computing before they fade away.

🕹️ What You'll Find Here:

The Hardware: Commodore 64, Atari 800XL, Amiga, 486 PCs, and more.

The Wars: C64 vs Atari/NES comparisons (Let the debate begin!).

The Hunt: Deep dives into mysterious floppies and forgotten games.
