I adore my Kaypro II (such a simple and well-designed system!), but the software for CP/M is generally quite boring. Business, productivity-- all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Sure, there's ADVENT and a Gorillas-type game, but it lacks the playful vibrancy of the stuff people made back when micros were curiosities with potential. CP/M made them useful, and useful things have to go to the office and make money.

Oh but those Kaypro 10 phosphors were delicious and slow to fade, and so kelly-green. The most boring things I did on it seemed so incredibly hackey.
