Three more: Basket Master, Simcity, Platoon. Bastie 05:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Programming

I would have to dispute this: "programming for the Hercules card's native graphics mode was somewhat hindered by the fact that there was neither any BIOS support nor standardization from IBM". Coding the hercules graphics was dead simple as the programming section illustrates. I don't think anyone would use the BIOS for coding since it was so slow and the graphics memory was essentially just one big bitmap array. 207.245.0.194 22:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
