Dude my memory is hazy. I had a PIII 866 mhz or something like that in 2003. Ran Quake 3 pretty well if I remember.

It would
quake 3 was from 1999. Jumps in tech in those days were immense. There are a few YouTubers I watch with retro tech and games from 1999 wouldn't run on 1997 hardware. Whereas now games today can run on hardware from 2020 easily.

I remember Need for Speed Underground 2 (released in 2004) being a little bit too demanding on my hardware, I had a Matrox G400 at the time in 2003. I think we have long diverged from this thread though but it's been great re-jogging my memory.It would

Yes for pc games. Knew of quite a few of those shops around Pretoria and Centurion when I was in school. Even Randburg Waterfront
Much preferred original big box games but not all games were legit available in SA at the time and I was a kid with no money lol.

It's funny though, growing up I always threw all the big boxes away because I just saw it as packaging/trash lol. Only kept the discs/cases.
Today, games in their original big boxes are highly valuable collectors items. If only I knew....
I only have 1 big box game that survived till now and that's Gabriel Knight 3. All my other ancient games only have their original jewel cases left.

Stuff that will collect dust and be forgotten about. If you are lucky, it might even have a copy of the game inside.
Edit: Does not mean that I do not want it still

Ok, so code-in-a-box will be available on the shelves from the 12th? No midnight release? Feels like I am missing something. Probably too big ..
