Floppies and VHS are more resilient that the people think. I have floppies from early of 90's that can be read/write without any issue. I have yet Dune game on two floppy disk, and many shareware, free and pirated games from these time. A few years ago, I did a backup of these floppies with a 3" 1/2 unit that I have.

I'd say most people are more familiar with late low quality media, which means plenty of unreadable disks from the 00s while most stuff from the early 90s might work fine (if stored properly)
