It’s a format that’s only been popular in a few countries, and I found that Sneakers on VCD only came out in Turkey.

This was a wonderful gesture, made even better given that apparently the Turkish title of Sneakers is… “Cryptographers.”

Can’t wait to watch it on Video CD tonight, with either Turkish subtitles, or Turkish dubbing. I guess I’ll find out. :·) Thanks,

I forgot about one format. The 1992 PR packet for Sneakers came with… a 3½" floppy disk. (Alas, it’s unreadable today.)pic.twitter.com/Fmj4cEF3Ul

Just a cheap $10 drive off of Amazon, at @textfiles’s advice. Made by ESYNIC.
