I kind of feel the opposite way but two people can look at a painting and have different perspectives. When I brought a bunch of SGIs to VCF and networked them and played BZFLAG and Dogfight, I got flack for that. I kept explaining how things like this were huge at the time, but nope. And if you noticed. I never demoed again... ever.. Now I go. I watch, I volunteer and clean up. But I don't really want to demo.

Just to jump in...I think 80s computing is/was fantastic. What rubs me the wrong way is this widespread perception that it was always only about games and nothing else. It disrespects the entire industry, its achievements, and its people to reduce the groundbreaking work that transformed society to toys for tots.
