I'm recording plays of many of the CGA games I played back in the '80s - stay tuned.
A quick play of Sheng‑Chung Liu's Pango, released for the IBM/PC in 1983 as freeware.
Pango was a clone of Sega's popular Pengo coin-op video arcade game from 1982.
I grew up in an IBM/PC family, with both my mom and dad in technology. My dad had been working for IBM in the '60s as a software engineer and when the personal computer revolution swept across in the late '70s and early '80 the original IBM PC quickly became an established part of our household. The mighty IBM Model 5150 was definitely not a machine meant for games nonetheless it was the most magical and fascinating device. While the 4-color CGA was hideous compared to other machines of the time it's a lovely memory of a forgotten time, now nearly 40 years old. The awkward color palette has a very special place in my heart today.
My reflexes and eye-hand coordination surely ain't what they used to be:)
