PC gaming in the 90s and early 00s was a very different experience than what it is today. It feels like ages ago when video games came in large, colorful boxes with big manuals and sparkling jewel cases hoping to entice the buyer (and most likely their children). The joy of going to toy stores at that time wasn't just about the toys, but also the new video games lining the shelves. Gaming was relegated to a very niche crowd and, often, younger gamers were playing at their parent's or older sibling's knee to learn more about this relatively new media format.
