Were not most games back in the day in C?

Back in what day? Quake II I would say is the best good looking thing written in pure C. id Tech 3 is partly C++. Everything after that era was pretty much C++. Even GoldSrc is partly C++. Source was pure C++.

I guess back in my day, early to mid 90s. My understanding is C became more common.

		Well I guess that was my time too but it was kind of a very short period. We went from assembly to C++ pretty quickly. Like things were assembly for a very long time, and they have been C++ for a very long time, but C was dominant mostly in that Doom to Quake II window.
