A blast from the past, may be hope for the (attempted) bomber around here?

Cool! I was an Atari 800 fanboy, though in all honesty there wasn't that much of a difference between the machines. Both were graced with the sort on innovation and addictiveness that todays game developers seem to lack.

 

I adored the early Electronic Arts games - M.U.L.E., Archon (suped-up chess), Seven Cities Of Gold (sort of an early Civilization) , Pinball Construction Set, Murder On The Zinderneuf (randomly generated murder mystery game set on a 1930's  Zeppelin), an a couple of amazing Lucasfilm games, Ballblaster and Behind Jaggi Lines (realtime-generated fractal graphics) were trailblazers.

 

Happy days.
