1986 was a year of great change, but not just for the better. The world was on the cusp of a technological revolution, and the IBM PC was the king of the computing world. But what about the software?
Turbo Pascal, the language of the gods, was all the rage. And who could forget the joy of typing out 10,000 lines of code just to get a simple "Hello, World!" on the screen?
But it wasn't all fun and games, folks. The Amiga was a threat to the PC's dominance, and the Commodore 64 was still holding on for dear life, like some kind of computing fossil.
And don't even get me started on the state of 8-bit gaming. "Pitfall!" indeed.
