I had alot back in the day, but one thing no one mentioned is how incredibly annoying real bought games could be, even today.
I bought a crapload of boxed games for amiga when I got a new 1200.
I was so annoyed with finding manuals and typing in codes and all that nonsense, I quickly gave the boxed games away and got whdload versions.
If I pay for a game, I don't want to go hunting for a manual, which was the most common form of copy protection back then. Its like I paid for being annoyed like this?
Now I realize, they had to do something, but that shit just irked me, back in the day, and now even more.
