Who here remembers inserting disk 4 of 12?

Unreal Tournament 2004 was 7 CDs if I remember correctly. That's the most I ever dealt with, and I would gladly insert 100 CDs if it meant we got games of that quality again.

I had it on one DVD The ways I spent modding the maps in the map editor ! Every time I listen to the Offspring again, like I did at that time, it takes me back to DM-Rankin and its creaky stairs
