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

    In fact, I’m old enough to remember before when CD became a tag for cross dressing on Pornhub!

      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.

      Pfft I have 50 plus 5-1/4" disks for an Atari computer from 86… It still works, I fired it up a couple years ago!
