Hi all! Nowadays game discs are bought less and less often; it’s easier to buy a game license key on some site on the Internet and download it to your computer. And if you buy it on sale, it’s a great option. Previously, about 20 years ago, everything was different, you had to go to the store and buy a disc with the game.

The business of selling discs was then gaining momentum and there were plenty of outlets where toys were sold. “Piracy” flourished, and a license could also be purchased a little more expensive. Back then it didn’t really matter whether you had a pirate game or not, updates and patches for games were rarely released, it all started later.

I remembered the games I bought for the first time; they were on discs. I don’t really remember how much they cost, but I bought two at once . Then it was just the beginning of my acquaintance with the world of computer games. Purchased: “new world order” and “Postal 2”. The first one turned out to be a “no” game; I didn’t even complete the first mission and turned it off. But I really played Postal 2.

Postal 2 was an interesting shooter at that time with a bit of humor. I went through it a couple of times for sure. The film based on this game was made by Uwe Boll, but it is outright trash, which I couldn’t even finish watching. And the game itself found a large audience.

The third game was the purchase of TES “Morrowind”. I really fell in love with the RPG genre back then when I was able to borrow a few other toys on disk from friends, among which was Gothic. I already bought Morrowind consciously. And I still play, only the online version, TESO. There is a short review on the channel. The Elder Scrolls series of single-player games continues to exist today, delighting its fans with new parts. Many have played and are playing Skyrim, which is a very worthy game. There is information on the network about the development of the 6th part, which everyone will be eagerly awaiting.

Then there were a lot of game discs, I collected small collections. And now, so much time has passed and I don’t even know where all these disks went. There is a separate article on the channel about how I earned money as a child to buy game disks for my computer.
