No more than the C64 or (arguably) the Amiga, though. There have always been games for every platform but I think the author's point is that if you want to look at what's been transformative in gaming (at least in the US), it's the rise of NES, the ubiquity of good computer based games (which for the past 20 years has been dominated by Windows PCs, not Apple), and more recently casual gaming. And for my money, if you want to talk about casual gaming (which the iPhone is now catalyzing much more rapidly than the predecessors), I'm sorry but it's Adobe flash and web based games that started to create that market. iPhone is probably taking it further, but for anyone who still thinks Steve Jobs belongs on this list - what is your favorite Apple created iPhone game for that platform? Or even the Apple 2? Personally, I liked Mystery House, Canonball Blitz, and all the Infocom games.
