OMG color graphics!
This is the first time I've heard the phrase "Electronic Arts" since the 90's.

Those were great times. Practically every game was cutting edge and pushed the boundaries of what was possible. Every year new genres were created and any single person with a good idea could become a Game Making Star overnight.

Hehe. Reminds me when my dad bought our first colour monitor in the late eighties. 14" glory with 256 colours and for that time enormous maximum resolution of 1024x768.
That was the hugest milestone I was able to witness, going from a 10" amber/black monochronous screen to a colour image. Nothing that followed was comparable.

Weak.. my C=64 had color from the get-go..... big as my TV.. silly IBMers
.. although, 1024x768 was pretty l33t for res back then.. I don't think I got that until ..wow.. 96 or so?
but wow.. now I remember the Computer Chronicles... that's some old-skool shizzy there... and I do agree, it seemed like almost every game out there had some good play, and definately most had good story.. graphics where half-secondary.. this is when I fell in love with Origin.. unfortunately now just an EA brand of suck, imho..
Epic Pinball anyone?

My first computer was an Acorn. I have many memories of playing Zool on it as a wee lad, note I didn't say fond.
I think I still have the keyboard around somewhere...
