The Polygons of Éric's Chahi Another World
Great series, but one assertion jumped out at me:   In terms of processing power a PC was 
   far superior to the Amiga and Atari ST 
   we visited last times. The problem for 
   gaming was the video which was 
   extremely slow. 

I was going to say, "On what planet was a 4.77 MHz 8088 'far superior' to an 8 MHz 68000?", but then looked up the MIPS-per-MHz figures, and the 8088 was indeed faster.  I sure don't remember it that way.(Edit: looks like I was reading the table wrong.  The 68000 Dhrystone MIPS score is indeed better by a factor of almost 2x.)
