No way Max, we were all too busy playing adventure games.
My dad had a subscription to Compute's Gazette, the magazine that had a game in the back of every issue, listed out in assembly language. He would program them all in, and modify them for game speed issues or to add little features he thought would make them more interesting. I'm pretty good with numbers, but looking at assembly language makes me want to curl into the fetal position.....
In your estimation Gandalf, would Star Trek possibly be the first pop fiction to have an actual game based on it? That would be an interesting bit of trivia to throw at people. People who care anyways, wish there were more of us. <.<
