As someone who remembers installing games with ten 5 1/4" floppy disks - ouch.
Game code came in a magazine, written in BASIC, and you had to transcribe onto the computer... Sometimes multiple pages of it.
I found that surprisingly fun considering how young I was. The issue was I didn't have the room for more than 1 game most of the time, so I had to redo that every time.
There are some things I don't really miss though, as fun as they were at the time.
