No, because I don't know what that is.

You never had a computer game on a diskette like Chess Master or some card games?

Games were definitely much better then, as they took longer than six hours to beat and developers couldn't rely on internet patches to fix bugs. But I prefer the small boxes. I do miss the days when you would get a bunch of cool stuff inside the box, apart from just a flimsy manual and the CD. Nowadays you have to pay $100 or so to get a "Collector's Edition" if you want anything extra.

I remember making a mess all over myself when I got Simcity in a huge box. Those were the days. I quit playing these computer games because most of them take a few hours to beat, and I don't have time to play for hours and hours online to compete with some of those crazies. That's why I never bought Call of Duty after Modern Warfare 2.

I loathe big box PC games. They take too much room and there's absolutely no need for them at this point. Everything can fit nicely in a normal-sized DVD case perfectly fine. Then again, I don't care much for PC gaming in general.

No: the games were awesome, but the boxes contained mostly air.

Size doesn't matter. It's what in the package that counts.
