For most people today, "floppy disks" probably sound like something from a bygone era – many might not have even seen one! While they're definitely old school, these relics hold serious value for retro enthusiasts and collectors.
Recently, a Japanese X (formerly Twitter) user was sifting through their late father's belongings when they stumbled upon two perfectly preserved floppy disks. Unsure what these ancient artifacts contained, they posted a query on X, which quickly blew up. Turns out, many veteran gamers were absolutely stunned by the rare find!
The game in question is "Variable Geo," a fighting game released by Giga TGL in 1993 for the PC-9800. It was also known as "Hime Bushin Densetsu" in some translations. What made it stand out back then? While titans like "Street Fighter" and "Fatal Fury" ruled the arcade scene, "Variable Geo" uniquely featured an all-female cast. Plus, it had "costume destruction" during battles and even stripping CG sequences for defeated characters, making it a super controversial 18+ fighting game at the time.
Later, the 18+ content was toned down, and the game was ported to other home consoles, becoming a more general-audience fighting series. It spawned several sequels and even an anime adaptation.
And guess what? The version the OP's dad owned was the original PC-9800 release – meaning it was the full-on, uncensored, 18+ spicy fighting game! LOL.
The post immediately sparked a wave of nostalgia, with many reminiscing about the game. After all, it's rare enough to see a floppy disk these days, let alone remember what a PC-9800 even was!
Netizens also praised the incredible condition of the disks, marveling at the OP's dad's preservation skills. Serious respect! 
Others couldn't help but feel the passage of time, remarking, "Generations really have changed." It's wild to think that such a talked-about game from back in the day is now considered "a father's relic"...
For those looking to relive the glory days, an all-ages version of "Variable Geo" is currently available on Steam. Go check it out!
