PC had bare metal games too. They were called “booters” and you can find an entire category of them on mobygames:

Yeah, but I never saw them, missed my reply on the other thread?


Whether I saw your other response or not is moot.

Your comment said "welcome to Amiga games", as if it were unique to Amiga. The context of the thread is PC, where they had their own booter/bare-metal games.

So you don't have to go to "Amiga games world", you're already in the proper world.


It was certainly unique to Amiga games on my little part of the world.

Not everyone was rich enough to know how the world looked elsewhere, connecting to all kinds of BBSs.


And yet, your little slice of the world doesn't represent the world at whole.

If you're ignorant of the situation, maybe don't come out with such a self-centered (and arguably, arrogant) statement; and especially don't double down on it when corrected.


My slice of the world was certainly relevant to me.

You have the freedom to chose to reply or ignore me.


People also have have the choice to ignore their racist grandparents spouting right-wing ideology or try educating them out of hope they'll shift their viewpoints.

Unfortunately, like many in that group, it seems you'd rather double down on your ignorance.
