Gah. Y'all are making me feel young.... which is kinda nice actually. haha
I remember learning to work with DOS on a hand-me-down 8088 at the same time I learned to read and starting in on adventure game development in BASIC shortly thereafter.
All that to say, there's definitely a part of me that misses retail distribution of games. It's mostly the collector side of me that likes having a physical library around. I do rather love the convenience and cost benefits that Steam and other services have brought, though.
