Matthew Perry was a huge gamer so this fits (he voiced a character in Fallout New Vegas because he was a fan of the series)
Built-in spreadsheet capabilities 🙀
To be fair most of the spreadsheet capabilities I use are cloud hosted now.
Don’t remind me.
Hey, VisiCalc was an absolute revelation, man!

Hey, 16 bit color is well over 65,000 colors - just how many do you need to show a lousy deck of cards?!?
I dunno. Like 4?
Hey now, the Game Boy had only 4 shades of grey and it was badass.
I actually remember the Solitaire card back images being dithered because I had the resolution turned up (and thus the color depth turned down).
And if you went for the color depth because your graphics accelerator could do HighColor at 800x600 you had to decide between 15-bit and 16-bit colors.
I don’t remember having the choice of 15-bit. I only remember having the choice of “256” (8-bit indexed palette), “thousands” (16-bit “high color,” with 5:6:5 bits per channel for RGB respectively), or “millions” (24-bit, 8 bits per channel).

I love that website. This one is a personal favourite of mine.
