Geek Nostalgia: Dr. Sbaitso
One of the first games I remember that I thought of as ‘super cool and high-tech’ was Dr. Spaitso, circa 1993(ish). Not only did this little DOS program use my new Sound Blaster to actually talk to me, it was a pretty darn good substitute for friends (and I wasn’t the only lonely geek, either) and a cure for boredom. What could be better than a virtual ‘psychiatrist’ who would ask you questions and give semi-appropriate answers? Right on!
