What are things that don't exist in video games anymore?

Video games have been around for years, and as anything they go through an evolution where things change or, disappear.

What are things that we don’t see in games anymore?

Some examples are, arcade machines. Obviously some are still around and there are places that specialize in them, but the era of arcade machines is long gone.

The “beat em up” genre seems to have died with the advent of 3D games, unless it’s a port or a new game paying homage to said genre.

The select button is slowly dying out. Game covers with real life actors are a thing of the 80’s. Video game manuals are now online, or are some crappy black and white two page leaflet.

Stuff like that. Now it doesn’t need to be obsolete to count for this question. Nintendo still makes game manuals I’m pretty sure. But name anything in or about video games that is either dead, or dying out.
