Simple question about older games on floppy:
If you get a game from the store and when you read it for the first time to find it corrupt, is it bad practice to format the disk and replace the files from a downloaded copy even though they are the exact files belonging to that disk?
Yeah, I know this sounds a bit wierd to some and to others it may appear in bad taste somehow but I'm currious. Reason be it is I have many games available for free download on various classic computer software websites and I mainly purchased the game for the manuals, maps, walk-throughs, artwork and various other nifty things that came packed in with the bulky boxes. I'd like to restore those disks and keep copies on a network drive as backup for that "just in case" situation.
