My old HD used to carry a drywall sort of screw that had the square

Compared to phillips, the square drive just seems superior to me. Am
I dreaming?

I don't need high quality screws for most of what I do -- and if I do,
I'm fine with getting them.

HD / Lowes now sells a 5# box of phillips drywall screws for around
18. I'm looking for something equivalent but with square drive.

Or -- has square drive just become obsolete? Do I need to get out
more?

They probably switched over to the combo screws.
