Kind of surprised to see no one has suggested this. You can take the CD-Keys from the manuals and inside the boxes and most of them can be added to Steam. If it doesn't work on Steam then it most likely will work on Epic. I have a bunch of old CD/DVD based games and I was able to add most of them to my Steam Library using the CD-Keys. Turns them into Digital Copies.
I bought a copy of Euro Truck Simulator 2 from a friend that had only had polish and spanish as language options but I only speak german and english. Added it to Steam with the CD key and now I have all language options. Great feature.
Didn't work with any of the 50 or so games I had
Interesting, I have never heard of that feature. But well, most of my old games aren't on Steam anyway and those that are, I have bought years ago for cheap.
