Before Steam existed to sell games to you in lots of 100 that there's no way you'll ever get around to actually playing, creating an idea so pernicious that this website is fucking named after the psuedo-responsibility of Owning Too Many Games... before all that, there was the Shovelware Aisles of old tech stores. This is a classic from the Fry's Electronics by my house, amongst the wall of cheap productivity software and calendar programs that didn't do anything were games that they were tricked into buying too many of. There were dozens of copies of Safecracker, and we bought one. Couldn't tell you if it was any good. Don't even remember it. I remember this case, I remember the shovelware aisle at the fry's electronics, and I feel the desire to pay tribute now to those halcyon days and all the games lost in those aisles forever.
