It's easy to forget how good we've got it now, and how much we take the features of modern gaming for granted. Here are 7 examples of how things used to be so much more difficult back in the day! Let us know your own examples in the comments!

@@Rocket1377 Plus cheats are still a thing and Bethesda games allow PS4 users to download mods. I don’t know about PS5 though. I mean, I downloaded a mod for Fallout 4 that upgrades the Minutemen. It doesn’t make them overpowered, it just makes it so they aren’t underwhelming. Anyway, using cheats and downloading mods always disables trophies.

I remember not knowing (probably because I didn't read all of the information in the box) that the PS3 had wireless controllers (I honestly hadn't kept up on launch info and got one much later in the cycle) and wondering *why* they came with such short cords to plug into the PS3. I was so frustrated too because I was basically on top of the family wide screen TV to be able to play. The shock I had when I accidentally disconnected the Dual Shock from the mini USB at the end plugged into the PS3 and it kept working was probably completely tangible. I just sat there, like two and a half feet from the TV, and utterly stunned.

Going back a really long way I can remember a number of point and click adventures that would allow you to make the game unfinishable by missing an item or not doing something. The game would allow you to carry on for a few hours and then you'd just hit a brick wall where even after hours of pixel hunting in every available place for the missing item/solution and exploring every line of dialogue you couldn't get any further and you'd have no idea why. Add to this the fact that the internet wasn't really a thing and unless you knew someone personally who'd either figured it out themselves or had a guide of some description you had no way of getting past the problem without phoning one of the incredibly expensive helplines.

80s kid here. 35 min loading times, 3 lives and 1 continue. Game over! Was my childhood.

I remember when I played a "cracked" version of NFS Underground 2 as a child and didn't let an infinite loading screen stop me from investing hours every single weekend, where I had to close the game via task manager and lose my progress

Achievements? A good thing? Ha! PC gamer here and I've had that good old Print Screen button to save a screenshot of all my best moments for ages. The dopamine burst from achievement dings just make us lose interest that much quicker in late game as things get progressively harder and the dings that much more infrequent. I'm sure Dave understands. Earning your achievements without all the cheap tricks makes you much more likely to complete the game. How many games did you complete back in the day when you had school to deal with? And how many have you completed now that it's your job to play them? How many have you played repeatedly for years on end? I guarantee that more of those completed/repeated games are older ones. If anything, achievements are a detriment, and screenshots/video recordings and the ability to share them are the real hero here.

Changing discs is probably the worst. Especially when it's scratched,missing or when you've lent it to a friend.

We had so many guide books and magazines lying around from when my father played all those point and click adventures or strategy games during the 90s. I loved to read through the Age of Empires 2 guide. Not that I ever needed it myself - the first time I actually noticed it on the shelf was years after I had watched my father play it and I had also played it myself several times. But I still liked to read it.

I’m old enough to remember anywhere from 5-10 minutes of modem sound screeching while my game loaded, FROM A TAPE, after which it was 50:50 whether it would crash. Everything since that has felt like a quantum leap forwards.
