I have hundreds of physical games I haven't figured out what to do with. Some of the list above.

Well I broke down and just spent about $100 or so on ebay for steam codes and got around half the games I was looking for. I guess I will just have to keep hitting up Goodwill and other thrift stores for cheap older-ish style games and what I cant find I will have to get from ebay or amazon.

Be careful buying steam codes like that as they can be taken back by the original owner at about any time or if they have account issues steam can revoke them if they were codes for extra games.

Or, buy them on gog, buy some blank dvd's and labels and a printer, and print labels for the games and stick them on the dvd's. You can probably even copy the game to the dvd!

I still have these. Any reason why you don't want to use eBay ? They seem priced pretty reasonable on there.

No love for lightscribe? I think they still make the discs for people who love obsolete archaic technology, like OP.
