I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. (lemmy.world)

My games were all pirated. Covers had a handwritten list of all games on the cassette (and later CD). The first legit game I've ever seen was Mortal Kombat Trilogy and I remember being taken aback by the waste of using a full CD for a single game (iirc the game used just 30 MB of space on that CD).

10s of MB software with the rest of the disc as CD audio was standard for the time.

Even with those constraints PS had noticeable mid-battle lag as it loaded in animationss.
