I've always liked this little Xmas card.

Recently, I wrote a Sierra AGI game interpreter that runs in a web browser, so can play the old AGI games online, including this Xmas card.

I loved the games the Sierra crew made during that era.

Thank you, IA, for preserving classic video games. This is the only way we can truly keep the past alive.

Wow, this brings back the nostalgic feels.
In the previous few months, I had seen my first personal computers: both Macintosh 128k’s, I believe.
