Trying to explain to the kids that when I was younger there was no app store. They are horrified.

You had to go to a shop and pay £25 for a game called Myst and then you wandered around a huge world with weird music in the background
Them: and then what happened?
Me: nothing

Even now I have now idea what the point of Myst was. At all. You had to find a book but the book contained a story. Why not just buy a story.

I think I’ve been robbed

However, 12 CD ROMs made beautiful Christmas tree decorations

I’ll just put these here next to my Encarta encyclopaedia CD ROMs and my Dad’s stack of rewritable CD ROMs

CD ROMs were a big deal
