5.25" floppy Those were the days 
When you'd put the disk in and heard the turning of the head... Man, I remember how often I'd wish that it wouldn't start making that repeating noise when it tried to read some old game
It's so cool to see the evolution of storage media

Pumpy
Kremlin
Soviet era lamp TV
Buratino ala Russian Pinocchio --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buratino
One eyed cat 
Communist horses 
No idea what it is 
My prophecy for evolution of Call of Duty games in three parts
Space rocket
Space ship
Cosmonaut
Monastery
Landscape
Only the last two images had age specified at the back, 8 and 9 years old

@WhiteBarbarian: They're good haha! Loved the derp Pinocchio
(the "Call of Duty"-inspired ones are great too , I used to draw explosions/missiles/slightly violent stuff as well when I was a child, probably because I watched too many Schwarzenegger/Stallone movies )

Had most of Amiga games on 5.25 floppies, back in these years, father used to refit Bulgarian 5.25 floppy drives to be Amiga compatible. Eventually, we stopped using them for storage as he soldiered tape drive adapter from schematics at some German Amiga hacking magazine that allowed to use VHS tapes for storage

My favorite were Chuck Norris movies there he rescues American soldiers from Vietnam prisoner camps

All we need to do is fire up the marketing machine, creating some websites that show the visionary works of the eclectic artist WhiteBarbarian; also writing some fake (but believable) reviews could help as well as spreading comments in places visited by "experts"
