It was great for "piracy". You had message board where people would swap floppies. You basically copied a game (Atari ST games of course) and would send the floppies hoping your counterpart would do the same.
It was a great time and I learnt a lot about the geek community, the sharing and got access to many games which at age 15 I could not afford.
