I have a few games on 3 and 5 inch Double Density (some games even come with both formats), and quite a lot on 3 inch High density, but I've never ever seen a retail game come on 5 Inch High density format. The only disks of that format I've ever seen are all blank copies that you'd copy your own files to. So It's got me wondering, were there any IBM compatible games or software that officially came on the 5 Inch High Density floppy?

Yes. Sierra would do them after 1990 into the white label era

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.
