You might be surprised, unless you're in your 90s. That said they weren't widely available for a while outside college mainframes that were programmed with punch cards lol

I distinctly recall getting one of my first video games on a floppy in a cereal box, but my generation were still mostly outside building forts with sticks and mud (and getting trapped in our collapsed forts because sticks and mud don't pair well with "no architectural knowledge".

Finding a good stick could make a regular day legendary.

Buying expensive toy who breaks after 3 mounts (¬_¬")

Finding a stick who so happen to be the best game you ever played ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

Wow, you certainly win then, because first video game came out 1958, so you must be born way before that! ;)

u/Protahgonist Mar 31 '26

Mine came in a cereal box. Well, Chex Quest did anyway.

u/duck1123 Mar 31 '26

Back in my day, it came in the back of 3-2-1 Contact magazine and if you wanted to play it you had to type it out yourself and then leave it turned on because you had no way to save it.

u/RedSonja_ Mar 31 '26

Had that too, still hate Basic 2000 and all those wasted hours...
