  Windows 95 had a version that came on 30 floppy disks.

  NOT fun.

  Shit I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 with 10 DVDs and let me tell you… that’s something I don’t want back.

  Like give me a small USB drive or a Blu-ray but that one I know it’s not common outside consoles and movies.

  And you needed a Microsoft Account and activate the CD Key anyway…which actually didn’t allow to install the game downloading it which the DVDs was for offline install, ok… But don’t force.me to use them if I have access to online… Who came up with this man??? Plus you need the first disk inserted like the old times… I swear… It was like travelling back in time but with extra hassles of today world on top.

  5 (6?) 3.5in floppies to get Dune 2 loaded on my Amiga 2000; at least I could take the time between disks to go to the bathroom, grab a snack, read a book etc. 😅

    Still the only RTS I ever actually liked. Man that menu was mind blowing at the time.

  Remember having to stop mid game and put the next disc in?
