lol old fart detected! If you arranged this list in chronological order, you would show the evolution of pc gaming from CGA->EGA->VGA and from pre sound card eras.

Yes, I once got into trouble in school for printing strip poker pictures in the computer lab at school on the dot-matrix printer hahahaha.

It's funny how everyone remembers these old games with rose tinted goggles.

Trouble is, in the old days, these games were often the inferior versions. Games like gods, xenon 2, speedball (bitmap bros games) all had better versions on the Amiga.

So if you're going to emulate the games, you should really be emulating "the way they were meant to be played" versions of the games. ie the amiga versions.

Not saying i didn't enjoy playing those games on the pc, it's just that i remember reading CVG back then and always wished that I had an Amiga that i could play them on. (and to a lesser extent an Atari ST)

FYI an Amiga is a pc too just not based on the x86 architecture. ditto with Atari ST

AMIGA VS PC
