You learn a lot about a machine from using it wrong.

Conceivably, even more than the people who are using it right.

In 1988, Echelon came out for DOS – it looked like the future!

I thought, “Wow! This is in actual 3D!”

And from my kid perspective living in the 80s, it was true. It had wireframe graphics and ultra-smooth scrolling. When I piloted the ship, it felt like I was completely in control.

We may snicker now at the EGA graphics but you got to understand that an NES couldn’t do this. Echelon really showed off what PCs at the time were capable of doing. It was revelatory.

Returning to it now, it’s amazing how far we’ve come in the past 36 years. However, playing this game is still fun – if only to stare at those wireframes!
