Leisure suit larry games had you answer questions that you would be unlikely to know the answer to if you were under age. I.E. pop culture and history references that would not be easy to find in a home encyclopedia to keep minors from playing them.
Otherwise it was mostly a matter of NERO burning rom software and making sure you wrote down and did not loose the CD key.

Remember in the late 90s when there was a dude selling burned games at a town market and no one thought anything about it. Also had hardware to run burned PS1-games. Remember he had the japanese FF8 that had just been released š

My dad used to get pirated PC games collections from the IT guys at work. When the Playstation came out we got it chipped and he got pirated games for it.

Mr Blobby, Playdoh, Tango where the usual goto’s around here, along with the voodoo series.
That was early to mid 90’s, Think I got my first cd burner around 1996, a 4x scsi panasonic for Ā£200, that I think at the beginning I could only write at 2x as an ISA scsi controller was too slow (even though it was Adaptec’s best isa card the 1542).
