 Sat Mar 04 15:42:42 +0000 2017

How about 640x350?

 Sat Mar 04 15:42:59 +0000 2017

Yep

 Sat Mar 04 15:43:50 +0000 2017

A bunch. In that mode you weren't limited to CGA text palette, and had 16 colors out of 64 to choose from.

 Sat Mar 04 15:53:44 +0000 2017

It looks like it was THE intended mode, but most ended up settling for the backwards monitor compatible 320x200 16 CGA colors.

 Sat Mar 04 15:57:08 +0000 2017

You might have also played a bunch of 640x350x16 VGA games without realizing it. But I don't have time to dig for screenshots.

There were plenty of games that used 640x350 EGA

 Sat Mar 04 17:01:16 +0000 2017

SimCity used pretty much every video mode ever. But if u played a pirated version, it was most likely 640x350 EGA

Here's "Deja Vu: A Nightmare Comes True!!", first of ICOM's MacVentures from 1985. Let's take a look at other versions 1/5

 Thu Mar 09 13:45:47 +0000 2017

All these ports are from 1987:
Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, and DOS 2/5

 Thu Mar 09 13:46:38 +0000 2017

More Deja Vu ports:
Apple IIGS (1988), NES (1990), Windows 3.x (1991), and Game Boy Color (1999) 3/5

 Thu Mar 09 13:48:30 +0000 2017

Couldn't take a screenshot myself, so I borrowed one from the PC-98 port (1991) from @MobyGames 4/5

 Thu Mar 09 13:49:36 +0000 2017

And I couldn't find a matching location shot from the 2002 PocketPC port, but I guess it looked something like this 5/5

 Thu Mar 09 13:50:29 +0000 2017

Errr. These were full on point & click games, that even had drag & drop & item stacking for inventory.

 Thu Mar 09 13:51:50 +0000 2017

ICOM's games were first

 Thu Mar 09 13:52:43 +0000 2017

What do you mean "in premise"? You couldn't type anything. This isn't Legend or Magnetic Scrolls.

I used to hate The Matrix sequels, but having revisited them last year, they are not that bad. Really unnecessary, but watchable.

 Wed Mar 15 01:31:47 +0000 2017

Probably because the last 10 years of successful Hollywood blockbusters really changed my barometer of what I consider garbage.

 Wed Mar 15 01:32:26 +0000 2017

So all of sudden, a movie like Matrix: Revolutions, which I used to despise, turns into a fun and silly cyberpunk romp.

 Wed Mar 15 01:33:11 +0000 2017

So yeah, the new so should totally be The Matrix: Resurrection.

Also: the original Matrix had a perfect and concrete ENDING. That is all.
