That was before the VGA era, probably mid-late 1980s.
I always got nervous during the plane phase.
A lot of the games in those era were ports from Atari.

This one was crazy in the early 90s. Everyone was playing it in the PC shops at Funan centre.

Digger and Pango provided me with plenty of fun.
Magic Pockets too, but it's from a later era, with VGA monitors and soundblaster audio. Not yet the CD-ROM era.

Yes, really there's just something special about the classics games. One of my all-time favorites has to be Diablo II. The dark atmosphere, the addictive gameplay – it's timeless. Even now, I find myself drawn back to it time and time again. Speaking of which, I stumbled upon this article https://howtoplay.blog/demonologist-how-to-survive-beginners-tips/ about Demonologist, a game that seems to capture some of that old-school magic. It's always exciting to discover new games that evoke the same feelings as those classics.

Back in the day there was no online play or draconian copyright protection. PC games were freely copied and distributed.

https://gamesnostalgia.com/ Has a good range of old games not all though.
the PC games installation of multiple 5.25 inches, and 3.5 inches floppy disks were troublesome, and then cds replaced the floppy disks which made everything so much easier.

CDs came in the mid-late 1990s. During that time Sim Lim Square was filled with shops selling pirated game CDs. Same for shops in the HDB heartlands, and JB with free delivery to Sinkieland.
That was also around the time when 3D graphics started appearing in video games, they were very basic and blocky. It was also the golden era of Soundblaster.
