Where have you been, computer games have been
driving upgrades since the DOS
era on PC and one of the major reasons people purchased computers since the
Commodore/Atari days.
In the EARLY days of the 5150, "BUSINESS" users went with monochrome.
Then they came back to "upgrade" to color (to run games, but they would
never admit it). To make use of what was there, "256 color accounting"
was developed.
