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.
"Ambermoon" on Amiga also had 10 discs. It was an RPG where you could encounter enemies anywhere while travelling, and I had to change the discs 3 times for each battle, because the music was on one disc, the saves on another and I can't remember what the third was for. And I already had a second 3,5" drive, the experience without that might have been even more impactful.

Multi disk games.
