    Before Steam, a video game was a piece of paper.

    The previews were two screenshots, a paragraph of lies, and your imagination.

      Before Steam.

      Steam was launched in September 2003.

      Karaoke Revolution for Xbox (released November 2004) is on the shelf in this picture.

        Yeah, I have distinct memories of going into Toys R Us in the late90s/early 00s and they had actual Dreamcast/N64/PS1 games on the shelves
