This used to fuck me up so much back when I used to install old games on a older laptop I had. I still feel like something terrible might happen every time I start up a game on this one. Maybe it's the paranoia the Playstation boot up might have given to me, it still gives me chills to this day. Or the Sega Saturn one for whatever reason (more because of volume if it ends up too high).

It's true that some games require patches and installation on console, however it isn't always the case.
