PC games came in giant cardboard boxes that housed a little jewel-sleeve case in a plastic inset with a gigantic instruction manual?
Those were the days.

Putting C&C gold into a cd player to enjoy the visionary soundscapes of frank klepacki.
The badass ads for FFVI, VII and Tactics in comic books.
Looking at the FFVIII "King of RPGs" ad and thinking 'games have too much marketing spin these days.' Ha!
I played a couple games on a floppy in my youth!
Good times, eh? A million floppy disks to install things, each installing only 10% at a time.
I had about two cases of floppy disks back in my late-80s youth. Had a total of probably ~200 games across all of them. It was great times
Cartridge sleeves for the NES. They smell like plastic and childhood.
I remember pretty distinctly seeing commercials for Resident Evil 3 and Final Fantasy 8 during prime time TV back when I was a kid. I was amazed. They were video games! That I knew! On TV!
Now I'm so sick of video game commercials. Familiarity breeds contempt, I guess.
I do miss big PC game boxes, though. In a sense, at least. I really don't miss the sheer amount of space they take up, but I miss the nostalgia attached to them.
smurf your floppy disks, cassette tapes and LSD nightmare screens for life.

Oh, man the memories. I've still got my original Oregon Trail floppy somewhere. I should go play it.

GOD yes! I still have the original Myst games! Never finished them though, as I found them way too hard back them. Riven was like one giant "?" to me back then.
Playing Ghostbusters on Commodore 64
