Any titles that have a link take you to a page dedicated to that particular game with manuals, copy protection details, advice on how to get the game running and more.

Here is a shortcut to each year:

Typical Gaming System

IBM PC-AT (80286) 12 MHz is recommended. MCGA or VGA graphics standards are ideal but not mandatory with Hercules mono, CGA or EGA graphics to fall back on. Sound-wise, an Ad Lib, Roland MT-32 or Tandy 3-voice is a good choice..
