My older brother had one of these. I used to play a bunch of games we got in cereal boxes with it. Discs were the size of gamecube games, and completely slipped off the disc tray and he’d have to disassemble it to get them out for me. Excellent older brother behavior, until he finally forbid from putting any more shitty cap’n crunch branded video games in his computer. Lol. Controller was good though, iirc

Those cereal box games were so cheaply made they had a tendency of blowing up when spun in a high RPM disk drive. The ones we had weren’t mini disks but we had one blow up on us, but we did get some RollerCoaster Tycoon games from it.

I had a disc that made my CD drive sound like a sports car
Years later I realize that it likely wasn’t balanced properly. Luckily it never killed my drive or exploded
