   It depends on each one's taste, of course, but some 80's systems have aged better than others regarding games.

   The ZX Spectrum was very limited – low-res, color clash, harsh beeps – yet most games retain some charm. Even if they don't draw me in for long.

   The CGA era of the IBM PC doesn't do it for me, though. Those magentas and blues in Alley Cat (1984): not my colors.

   Even the early EGA era... Look at Gauntlet (1988). My eyes... they bleed. 😬

     @carlosefr Wow! Alley Cat! I miss that game.

     Yep! 8086 IBM PCs, CGA monitors. Simple games, yet they consumed hours, even days, of our lives.
