    I’m old enough that some of the PC games I grew up playing came on a CD.

    As someone who remembers installing games with ten 5 1/4" floppy disks - ouch.

      Game code came in a magazine, written in BASIC, and you had to transcribe onto the computer… Sometimes multiple pages of it.

        I found that surprisingly fun considering how young I was. The issue was I didn’t have the room for more than 1 game most of the time, so I had to redo that every time.

        There are some things I don’t really miss though, as fun as they were at the time.
