Agreed.
Also, if I had always had access to and used AI to create my game artwork over the years I would have never seen self improvement in my abilities. There would be no sense of progress.

Could you not get an external drive like I did? Or are you not missing having to rip discs!
I've bought the odd mp3s off bandcamp, usually music I couldn't buy on disc.

Old post on FB of mine:
"Avoid taking damage", mind blown! Thanks Gotham Knights, this kind of outside of the box thinking is revolutionary, I think I could use this information not just in other games, but in real life too!

I know that you of all people will feel my pain of getting this Less Than Jake CD in the post and despairing at how it is totally going to stick out in the collection (jewel case CD in front for comparison)

Amiga games I had:
Cannon Fodder
Cover rating: 4/10 (although damn, I never realised there was a man on the cover!!)
Game rating: 9/10
It gets too hard later on, but what a blast this game was. Having enemies occasionally bleeding out screaming was innovative!

If it wasn't for the cheats, I'd score it lower because it so too damn hard without them. But with them, I loved this game. Great music, graphics and gameplay. Cool ship upgrade mechanic.

And god of war is pretty combat intensive with some puzzles, the last two are very story focused about the "god of war" man and his son. They're sony games so only on playstation and more recently at least one of them is on PC.

Assassin's creed series has been going since the 360 days and you play different characters from different timelines like Egypt, Greek, vikings, etc. you sneak and stab, and meet historical figures.

Well Broken Sword and Monkey Island are those games where you use a cursor most often to command a character to look and interact with things and solve puzzles or do detective work. Some are 3D, some are 2D. The image is taken from a remastered Broken Sword.

Excuse me showing a puzzle solution but it's an example of what not to do when designing a puzzle. Simon says "Do I really need to know what's down there?". This line misinforms the player into thinking they're saying don't bother trying, when it's actually mandatory to continue the game.
