Still, tens of thousands of powerful applications and awesomely enjoyable games were released in those years. Some, such as SimCity and Tomb Raider, have been regularly updated and modernized, but what about all the rest?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eM.U.L.E., Wing Commander, Chessmaster, King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Pinball Construction Set, and literally thousands of other games have been ignored for decades. They were fun in the 80s, so why not now?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd that's not to mention all the powerful non-gaming applications. WordStar, WordPerfect, dBase, Lotus, WildCat, TBBS, Telix, and many, many more run as well today as they did in their prime (or maybe better, since all the bugs were worked out decades ago).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough it's possible to find and restore an old computer from thirty years ago, parts are getting scarce.
