If it's on a cd, it ain't old yet.

Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro

I didn't know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It's practically hidden.

Not yet, but I am old enough... lol

Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.

And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!

Ahhh the manuals... and the mail order hint guides. Those were the days.
