I'm going to admit something here. I've never once touched a floppy disk with my bare hands. Yet, I somehow feel quite a bit of nostalgia for the old bit of tech. That's why my eye was immediately drawn to a device built to play whack-a-mole with what many people my age consider the 'save symbol'.
Rob Smith Dev has shared on their YouTube channel over two videos (1, 2) of them building the game (via Hackaday), called DiskFight. The Amiga-based machine challenges you with popping in floppy disks at high speed to gain points. Smith created their own linear actuators to load underneath the floppy disks, to give springs under the floppy disk the force to either entirely bounce out of their holder, or press up just a little.
