Fantastic article, this really sums it up nicely.

I remember playing a black and white version of ShufflePuck Cafe on a Mac LC3 around 1992 or so. Great game, still fascinated by how the exotic characters make the game far more engaging than Pong could ever be.

I think there was a guy, Biff, he was really tough, seemingly impossible to beat (for my 10 year old self, anyhow).

I miss those days!
