Podcast Episode 016 - Early Computer Game Platforms: The Trinity, and the
Disciples


 


We go
over the early computer systems as they apply to games in the United States.
Starting with the first home computer of note the Altair 8800. We then go into
the Trinity of systems released in the same year for the home; the Apple II,
the Commodore Pet, and the TRS 80. We then go into the systems that came after
and how the Apple II was able to remain dominant as a gaming platform for much
longer than it should have untill it was dethroned by the Commodore 64.
