System Shock on PC (1994) had no less than 9 disks (3.5"), it was a long installation process for the time And it was too bad when one of the last disks had read errors...
Today, MSFS 2020 comes on 10 DVDs for those who want to limit the download (about 90 GB of assets). And that's not all, it still requires online access for the missing or updated parts of the world map of course
Then some have just given up, like Orbx for which one flight simulation terrain takes 210 GB only to cover a part of California, for instance (meaning you may want to buy several of those)...
