Well, it seems you Abandonheads have spoken. Uno DOS to rule them all and all that. It was interesting to see that a few thought the arcades era was the golden age.

BTW: The Babbage option was for those who couldn't get far enough back in time. For real sentimentality. A serious option written as a jest. I guess everybody agree that it takes a few tries to get it right, also so with gaming.

I suggest this poll to be closed, and be left as a testimony that Abandonia is indeed the home of abandoned DOS-games.

The hard part about gaming with the difference engine is that you are severely in the sorts of games that you could play. The only one that I could think of is a game like Scorched Earth, where to artillery guns are trying to shoot each other, but only if you can connect a DE to a plotter (watch the pen as it traces a line towards your opponent). Lunar lander is also possible, but for the problem of no one knowing what a lunar lander was.
