Obsolete and Peculiar Media Formats

-Telekore-

Share some interesting media formats here! I'm particularly interested in Flexidiscs.
The Museum of Obsolete Media has an excellent track record of these formats, I recommend checking their website out!

Help me look for a cartoon I watched when I was younger!

Apparently, they were small, flexible, vinyl discs you could store music, or even floppy disc data on.

AI isn't being added to Scratch anytime soon. If you want to, you could also read this related essay, which was not made by me.
I also found the earliest mention of Scratch 4.0 on the forums.

Flexplay is such an obscure and discontinued video format.
It was apparently a kind of DVD that stopped you from watching after 48 hours.

Not really a media FORMAT but I was randomly motivated to post here again because Techmoan uploaded a video about a tiny record player

Did anyone else remember the HitClips and/or HitClips Disc? I never owned one, but it's a peculiar media format (“toy media storage”?) anyways so it still counts.

Do EVDs count? There are only 4 movies in total made for the EVD format, 3 of them being movies which I'm not sure are allowed on Scratch and the other being Big Momma's House (no, I am not yanking your chain

)

Flipnote Studio
Does that count?

Professional idiot
I like Mario, Kirby, Pokemon, Sonic, Zelda, Terraria, Yo-Kai Watch, Bug Fables, and Cassette Beasts.

I'm also working on a full blown game outside of Scratch (I just have ideas for now)

Not really a media FORMAT, but it's still an obsolete app. (we are mostly talking about physical media formats)

Sorry, you have to wait 60 millennia between posts.
