Golden Oldies: Volume 1 - Computer Software Classics is a retrospective compilation of four video games from prior to the microcomputer era: Adventure, Eliza, Life, and Pong.[1] It was published in 1985 for the Apple II, Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS. Atari ST and Amiga versions followed in 1986. Despite the "Volume 1" in the title, no further collections were released.

Reception

[edit]

Roy Wagner reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "These games are pure and simple, yet still fun to play and enjoy."[1] Steve Panak, writing for ANALOG Computing, called the manual "superb," and concluded, "If you're interested in researching and reliving this portion of our recent history, Golden Oldies is a rich vein to tap."[2]
