GAME: The never ending story

When he set his Altair back on the table, he found that nothing was damaged. He ask the leprechaun "Did you make the Altair not be damaged?" It replied:
 
Quick as a vintage computer collector could muster, Erik grabbed the leprechaun and demanded his pot-o-gold. To which the leprechaun replied:
 
"Aye, ye want me gold? Well, if ye want me gold I may ruin yer face!" So the leprechaun took an old 8" disk and
 
sold it to Morshu the shopkeeper. When Erik got to Morshu and asked for the disk, he replied "You want it? It's yours my friend as long as you have enough rupees".
However Erik didn't have any rupees so he was told "Sorry Erik, I can't give credit. Come back when you're a little MMMMMMM richer."

So Erik left and
 
Got his IBM portable PC model 5100 and made a copy of the 8" disk on a tape drive when the shopkeeper wasn't looking.
 
Suddenly out of nowhere, the leprechaun appeared. "Now now! No cheating!" he scowled. Before Erik could react he snatched the disk and disappeared. Erik noticed something on the floor
 
As he picked it up, he noticed that the feather vanished but he was wearing a cape. However since he did not have an SNES controller, the cape was useless, although it did make him look cool.
 
Naturally Erik thought to himself.. "I need the pin-outs for that controller!" off he ran to log on to the greatest, most informative forum that would have this information... the vintage computer forums.
 
realized that he had been playing for hours on end, and the Sun had set.

He decided to attempt to break into the shop to retrieve the floppy, so he...
 
went to the shop, forgetting to ask about pinouts for the SNES controller.
Since the sun had set however, Morshu's shop was closed. Realizing he had just wasted a couple more hours, he went back to his house and into his bed, after taking off the cape and washing of course!
