Yeah, whats the point of watching Chaplin now that we have Jim Cary?

What's the benefit of a person playing PacMan on a classic computer? How
would it be different from a modern one? Because that is the point of history, to see how
things develope over time,
and to put into perspective the conditions of a past time with the present.
BTW something very like the arcade game Pacman will run on a Apple II, but
not on any hardware of a generation prior to it AFAIK.
And for straight arcade action, the Big Five games for the old
TRS-80 line were as good as anything then or for a goodly while
afterward. (With only 1 Kbyte of display RAM to update, they were
_fast_).
