At least it did for me. Probably like how my parents must have felt when giant, 2 fold vinyl album packaging with big band art and extensive liner notes were replaced with tiny CD jewel cases. I know it's corny but, sometimes I miss the old days.

You've reminded me of something Daventry. I remember having an adventure game collection which contained:
1) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
2) Mean Streets
3) Operation Stealth (a really enjoyable adventure made by Delphine Software).
What was awesome about this was the BIG box everything came in, all the floppy disks and all the manuals too.
Wish I still had it really, though all the floppies died eventually from being stored in a cold office, then a warm loft etc.
Thanks for that memory though!
