Default Re: History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64

lol yeah I used to keep my 64 on all the time before I got my 1541.

The worst was typing in one of those long ass programs and then there being an error in one of the lines.

Summer/Winter games were some of my favorite games. Also Dr. J vs Larry Bird: One on One by EA.

Impossible Mission (I think that is what it was called) was such an awesome game

A nice article but obviously written by an American over in Britain and to a lesser extent Europe the C64 found its self locked in a battle for the 8 bit market that would lead to the most hotly contested playground debate of the nineteen eighties, which was better the C64 or the ZX Spectrum
The ZX Spectrum was a phenomenon it kick started the home coding scene and many people credit it with establishing the British computer game industry.

The Debate over which was better may have been hotly contested but it was in reality irrelevant because both were inferior to a late challenger the Amstrad CPC 464, which was able to produce the vibrant colour of the C64 and the finer resolution of the spectrum as well as good sound.

I loved that one too. I remember trying to constantly break the backboard and that little dude would come out and sweep up the mess.
