The Commodore Amiga was awash with copied video game disks in the '90s.
If you went to a car boot sale there was always a few dodgy geezers selling copied disks out of a cardboard box on a stall in the corner of a field.
Some say that piracy was a major contribution to the eventual demise of the Commodore Amiga.
I loved my Commodore Amiga 600 and I made a habit of buying my original games from Special Reserve which was a cool mail-order video games shop.
The longer I owned my Amiga though the more I began to get given the latest games via the playground economy of the '90s and eventually I had some classic games on copied disks and I also ended up having a copy of X COPY which always amused me that my copy of X COPY was a copy!
Thinking back to this time led me to think about how I used to write the names of the games on my disk labels and how I used to like to make crude labels that nearly created the facade of the real label on the original game disk.
In this doodle that I created, I'm trying to capture the feeling of a 90's me crafting a
hasty label on my Verbatim blank disk in order to accommodate my version of
Championship Manager on it.

Hopefully, I've captured this, let me know what you think...
