Quote:A little bit of trivia. You can thank the Mac for the world's first first person shooter. No, not Marathon, but Colony. It was a 2 colour black and white vector based graphics game. It took a whole 2 MEGS of memory. Back in what was it... 1988? 89? Can't remember what year exactly, but, 2 megs of memory was as expensive as hell. Or was it 2.5 megs of memory?
What about Mazewars? As I recall, it was out about 1985 or 1986. FPS by the most primitive of definitions, ran on a 128K. Up to 4 people could play networked. Giant eyeballs shot at each other in a fairly simple maze.
