kids these days will never get to experience the expectant excitement of this screen ever in their life. not the tense sound as it reads your disk or the clicky sounds of your harddrive as the game is installed, or the celebratory drive opening as you finish... soulless downloads is all we have left. pour one out for....
@aetios this post suddenly reminded me of the oddly-specific time that seven-year old me somehow managed to create a 30 mb partition in windows xp's diskmgmt.msc snap-in... and wound up trying to install a whole-ass copy of NASCAR Heat (or was it NASCAR Racing 2? can't remember) on it via CD with this kind of installer layout
suffice to say it backfired because i had no fucking idea how disk space worked
