But it is no limited to simple old games. You can go purchase and lownload up to date 3D games from Steam that rival anything for windows... :)

I know. I prefer the really old games. I suppose to a modern Fortnight or Call of Duty fan that is quaint, but I find that the first person shooters are more like movies playing out than inspired gameplay. Something as simple as Space War can never get that old if you have an opponent, and a game like Defender managed to have a LOT going on with very limited (but tightly written) code.

I am waiting for someone to take modern AI principles and apply them to successors of the old "Zork/Colossal Cave"-type text only games using natural language with a LOT more options, possibly with learning growing off of the feedback of players. The technology is there to do it well, but all the effort is put into graphics.
