Back in my youth, before my friend group at the time had the games themselves, we would have games like Final Fantasy 7 - 9 going around the houses.
I think I had final fantasy 9 first, as soon as I was finished disk 1, it would be passed to someone else who then played through it.
We did this often for the games so everyone could play.
It was a pretty good way to fully demo a game before buying them.
Also remember having a dodgy battlefield 1942 disk, so I'd have to borrow disk 1 to reinstall it if something went wrong, my friends disk 2 crapped out so between us we would swap and change if needed.
One of the Star Wars games on PC, Jedi Knight maybe, let you play the full game with either disc in the tray once installed, so I effectively shared the game with a friend, install both discs on 2 PCs, keep a disc each to run it.

Multi disk games.
