"Lara looks better flat..." ATI's XPERT@Play 98, a mouthful of a GPU name, and not so much the banishment of triangular boobs, but for being flat-panel monitor ready out of the box. From what I've read, the chipset was an ATI Rage Pro Turbo, and it was pretty popular. 📖: CGW, Nov 1998

DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO BLOODSHED. In the city of disaster, it's the only way to survive. One of the earliest cyberpunk/post apocalyptic RPGs I've come across, and still one with peak 80s anime OVA rule of cool vibes. 📺: The Screamer, Magical Zoo, 1984 (PC-8801)

I can't remember the first game I ever played, and have no memory of deciding I liked games. I feel like I was born to be into games like a bird knows it has to build a nest. But also the answer is Mega Man.
