Oh, wow. That takes me back to my first PC, an Amstrad PC1512 (dual 5¼"), which came with CGA and B/W monitor. I tricked that baby out with additional RAM (640 kB really was enough for most people), a 32 MB HD on an ISA card, and, importantly in this context, a Hercules card. The latter was switchable, so you still could run CGA games, while enjoying the crisp text and line graphics of Hercules.
