What Is The Default Installation Directory For 90s CD-ROM Games? - I'm a 90s Baby

What Is The Default Installation Directory For 90s CD-ROM Games? Have you ever wondered where 1990s CD-ROM games typically installed on your computer? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about the default installation directories for classic PC games from the 1990s. We'll start by describing the common folder paths used during that era, such as "C:\Program Files\GameName" or simply "C:\GameName." We'll discuss how early games often only copied essential files onto the hard drive, streaming the rest directly from the CD-ROM during gameplay, mainly due to limited storage capacity at the time. As technology advanced, installation sizes increased, and games began copying more data onto the hard drive, but most still defaulted to the C: drive. We'll also cover how installation processes evolved in the late 1990s, with some games allowing users to select different locations for installation. Understanding this setup helps appreciate how storage limitations and CD streaming shaped the gaming experience of the era. Whether you're a nostalgic gamer or interested in vintage computing, this video offers a detailed look at how 1990s PC games were installed and managed.
