Wow, seriously?
Well, I thought it was pretty obvious we were talking about the function, not the socially acceptable term. My point still stands, the game was a computer and console game. It's REALLY obvious that it was. BTW, people who used "IBM Compatibles" (the actual term that was used for what you consider a PC) were the ones who were mocked.
From Wikipedia:
For a substantial period (1983–1986), the C64 dominated the market with between 30% and 40% share and 2 million units sold per year, outselling the IBM PC compatibles, Apple Inc. computers, and Atari 8-bit family computers. Sam Tramiel, a later Atari president and the son of Commodore's founder, said in a 1989 interview "When I was at Commodore we were building 400,000 C64s a month for a couple of years."
And since this game came out in 1983, it is safe to say it was selling on the number one selling personal computer - the Commodore 64.
