In glorious people-protecting America, we actually have something called “shrink wrap” EULAs which state that you agreed to the terms by opening the box. Even if those terms were inside the box.

Wow... but did e.g. Gameboy games have those?
I honestly just assumed they did because everything does, but thinking back I don’t recall noticing one in the box but I was young and may have just tuned it out. I hope someone else here can recall!
EULAs on every game are afaik a produch of everything going online. i don't think those old games have eulas.
