Ok, so this post is a joke of some kind (there was no 1989 version of Blue Prince).

But it raises an interesting question: would it have been possible to implement that upside down floppy disk puzzle in a game?

1. Was it even possible to insert floppy disks upside down? I lived through the floppy disk era in my childhood, but I have to admit I can't remember if the drives would even let you do this.

2. If the answer to #1 is yes, would there be any way of programmatically detecting the floppy-disk-was-inserted-the-wrong-way state?
