Talk:Audio game

message: 80.127.96.19 changed all the uses of "audiogame" to "audio game." I realized this was more correct since "video game" is split and is not "videogame."  So I moved the page to this new name. I also updated all the wikilinks to audiogame which is now a redirect page. —Frecklefoot 17:56, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither version is incorrect. "Videogame" is less common but widely used, e.g. National Videogame Museum, The Lego Movie Videogame, How to Talk About Videogames. The biggest forum for this type of game uses "audiogame" audiogames.net. Buckleyschance (talk) 06:05, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

message: No, no, no, this is so wrong!  The "Before the introduction of Microsoft Windows . . ." passage makes it sound like most games under DOS were text based!  They weren't!  Most games under DOS were very graphical and accessed the video hardware directly . . . after graphics display adapters became widespread starting circa 1983.  MS-DOS was the market leading OS on the IBM-compatible PC platform until around 1991 (give or take up to two years) when Windows 3.1--from the same publisher--overtook it in popularity.  It still didn't do very well in offering game-quality (high speed, high resolution) graphics services, and ran on top of DOS, so until Windows 95 became established--maybe even until Windows 98--most games were written for DOS, used DOS extenders such as DPMI and DOS4GW, and recommended NOT running them under Windows, because it tended to make them unstable and cause crashes, slowdowns, or video and sound glitches.  So for at least 12 years (1984-1996,) most graphical PC games were DOS programs.

:I agree the wording now isn't really clear.  In the DOS days, especially the early DOS days, there were many text-based games (such as the excellent ones from Infocom).  By the time Windows arrived, they had largely disappeared.  That's what the wording needs to make clear. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 16:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
