I had an Amiga when I was a kid and one of my favourite games had something like 14 floppy disks. You get quite far in the story and it'd go something like this;

'Insert Disk 6'
*inserts disk 6*
'Insert Disk 4'
*inserts disk 4*
'Insert Disk 1'
*inserts disk 1*
'Insert Disk 2'
*inserts disk 2*
'Insert Disk 6'
*inserts disk 6*
'Disk Not Recognised. Please Insert Disk 6'

AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!! !

I still have a LOT of Windows 95/98/XP cd's that we got in cereal boxes - Pajama Sam, Spy Fox and Freddi Fish were my favourites at the time.

That reminds me of installing Windows 3.1 from floppy disks. :lol:

I found a large stack of CDs of old games in a drawer that would still fill this requirement if I wanted to play them again.

I just recently used my CD code for Sims 3 to get it transferred to my Origin account so I didn't need to put the disc in every time anymore.
