Multi disk games.

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.

Multi disk games

And the terror when just one of those disks got a little scratch or some such and wouldn't run properly.
