Good call, TF! :-) It's easy to spot the EA logo: The old stuff sports the old logo.
My all-time fave game that I can't play due to technology marching on was "Pinball Construction Set". The second would be Br0derbund's "Lode Runner". And, of course, there's "SimCity" released by the now-EA subsidiary Maxis.
There's something about that creative element that made the stuff wonderful for experimentation and game longevity. But PCS was killer since it allowed for the tables to be compiled into .EXE files that can run from DOS. :-)
The 1996 release of "Pinball Builder" from 21st Century Entertainment was good though limited when compared to PCS. I happen to have the full boxed version on my shelf which, since 21stCE is defunct, is now considered abandonware. I'd like to scan it all up for the digital archives one of these days.
