The new set comes as two non-working dummy disks coated in imitation gold plating. They measure 89 by 89 millimeters and are placed in a box with the original artwork printed directly on it. A simple display stand is included so the disks can stand upright on a shelf.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B09D3KGWRD\" data-aawp-product-id=\"249681\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Tiny Arcade Atari 2600 Mini Console 3.5\u201d Playable Retro TV &amp; Controller with 10 Classic Games Including Pac-Man &amp; Breakout -Portable Vintage Gaming System w\/ Sound - Gift for Kids &amp; Adults Ages 8+\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41oydoQFqcL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Tiny Arcade Atari 2600 Mini Console 3.5\u201d Playable Retro TV &amp; Controller with 10 Classic Games Including...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Tiny Arcade Atari 2600 Mini Console 3.5\u201d Playable Retro TV &amp; Controller with 10 Classic Games Including&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>REAL PLAYABLE RETRO GAMING EXPERIENCE: Enjoy authentic gameplay on a mini Atari 2600 console featuring a working joystick and TV screen.

In Malaysia, it appears that it will cost roughly RM94 before shipment. You can probably tell by now that the company has a history of releasing comparable retro-style items, having previously done CD-ROM reproductions of Resident Evil and World of Warcraft, so a DOOM set is not surprising.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/03233051\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fanattik Golden DOOM Floppy Disk\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\"\/><br \/>To put things in perspective, the full version of DOOM back then required four floppy disks to carry all three episodes, as CD-ROM versions weren\u2019t available until much later. The golden floppies practically preserve the shareware version indefinitely, so you don\u2019t need to dig out an old drive to play it. For anyone who still proudly displays their old PC boxes, the limited run and individual numbering ensures the future, since once you have one of the 5,000 sets, there will be no more available.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Golden Floppy Disks Bring DOOM Back to 1993, Limited to 5,000<br \/>\n<br \/>#Golden #Floppy #Disks #Bring #DOOM #Limited<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans of the original DOOM never asked for a pair of shiny golden floppy disks&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19251,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1604,12446,1407,12445,5288,34],"class_list":["post-19250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-bring","tag-disks","tag-doom","tag-floppy","tag-golden","tag-limited"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game.jpg",960,640,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game.jpg",640,427,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game.jpg",960,640,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game.jpg",960,640,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game.jpg",960,640,false],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fanattik-golden-doom-floppy-disk-game-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/news678.top\/?cat=8\" rel=\"category\">Tech<\/a>","tag_info":"Tech","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
