a fascinating thing about early PC game history, which i think is unique to the platform, is that there was a significant number of games which called out the graphics hardware they supported in the name, e.g. "EGATrek", "EGA Pool", "Joust VGA." This is definitely because the PC was a fractured platform - up until the end of the 80s, and for the first couple years of the 90s, you couldn't expect a PC to have anything other than an 8088 and CGA, so support for any later hardware never really stopped being a novelty until the mid 90s. Of course, I think virtually every one of these was freeware or at best very cheap shareware, so this is mostly just a "programmer branding" phenomenon, but, you know, I don't think there were any zx spectrum titles that called out the 128k in the name.
curiously however, very few games ever called out a specific CPU. the primary exception is Links 386, but i just saw this very strangely named ".386 SPYS" in exodos and double took. i figured it might be a 2000s retro title but nope, '88. incredibly good logo, but i'm really curious what it needs from the 386 specifically - the gameplay looks like it could work on an 8088, from screenshots, and I doubt it uses protected mode, so it's probably just a matter of speed. I also have no idea what the dot represents, and I can't find any info about this game online.
