Actually Pro Logic did use surround speakers, a front left and right with a centre channel made form both of those a mono rear channel often with a left and right. This was originally used in the cinema but was latter sold to home users. You will notice a lot of 90s US shows will have available in Dolby Surround imprinted in them at the beginning using a matrix track that in embedded in the stereo track. Videogames in the late 90s also started to use this Dolby Surround.
