regards to my first post
all the games i saw from shareware vendors save id were not much of an exertion for most pc's probably work on an 8086 too some of em ;)
yes you could have a solid/fong/goroude (spelling) or wire frame 3D game but you would have to code all that yourself
and as blitz is basic these would be 'bolted on' via the blitz3D upgrade/add on if you wernt up to doing it yourself
when i worked in a pc shop during the early to mid 90's we were still selling 8086 systems which could have a target audience for games of sorts
we used to install a few shareware games onto the demo amstrads we were dealers for, one quick way of showing how much the cirrus logic chipset improved things was to run doom on the system in question and it again on another without (even the 486SX fared better than the DX as it was all about the gfx not the cpu)
if blitz was available then im sure i would have installed it somewhere to tinker with or run demo code as some punters would be interested in dabbling in their own stuff
i know we had the adlib/creative, irq, dma etc for configing the system to run a game but im sure alot of these things could have been streamlined via BRL or some 3rd party
but thats "what if's" for you
