Games aren't given nearly the credit they deserve for driving the PC revolution. My house was one of a very few in our neighborhood that had an Apple II in the house (this was 1980), which cost $2000 in 1980 dollars. For that kind of money, people said the reason they bought the computer was for <x>, but the real reason was almost always for the games.
