Alley cat and moon patrol rocked.. but I don't know whether you can compare that era to what i'd consider the first great age of PC computer games, as opposed to home arcade style gaming ala the atari. I don't know.. maybe it should be the second age in deferance to the 64bit home computers..

yep it's hilarious. since when is "doom" or warcraft old? lol.
i had pitfall on atari 2600.
I wrote basic and learnt to code games from the manual on my amstrad 6128.. as well as wasting my life away playing bard's tale 1 ghosts and goblins.. a bunch of move licenses like batman et al
the x86 alley cat moon patrol..
then again I started really young so....
still pretty funny to think most here probably never saw a tape drive - hey we used to play games ON CASSETTE TAPES..
WHAT? you don't know what a CASSETTE TAPE IS? j/k
although that day surely isn't far away.
