After 85 A8 still had some support from important USA companies like SSI and Infocom; even EA, Access, Origin, Microprose, Accolade and some other important US companies released another game for A8 or two, but basically by 88 it was all over. Atari kept it going with many re-releases and a few original titles in USA and UK til 90, at the max (Black Lamp was 89).

I like Test Drive on C64 (and Test Drive 2 is even better), actually, Accolade hardly ever produced a bum game on C64 (maybe Rack 'em and TKO are rubbish). Grand Prix Circuit is my absolute favorite.

Yeah as Rocky Mountains has proven, most UK programmers couldn't program the A8 for toffee, but sometimes they did make an effort, here's UKs Tynesoft: Atari: C64 Atari C64

How about 1984?

top of my head: Essex (Synapse) Mindwheel (Synapse) Brimstone (Synapse) Universe (Omnitrend) UKs Rainbird titles? not sure, gotta check

Wow, you never heard of Computer Eyes? From Digital Vision, Inc., an excellent Digitizer for C64 and A8? Or Print Technik Video Digitizer? An excellent German product available on C64 and A8?

I guess as usual, Rocky Mountains is the laughing stock around here. LOL :D ROTFL :D :D MEGA LOL :D :D MEGA MEGA ROTFL :D :D UEBER LOL :D UNDER ROTFL MEGA LOL :D :D

I'm English/American, so that's fine.

LOL MEGA LOL :D :D :D :D MEGA LOL :D LOL MEGA LOL :D LOL MEGA BRILL LOL :D LOL LOL LOL :D :D :D LOL BRILL OVER MEGA LOL :D :D LOL LOL MEGA hold on, he's got a new one.....MEGA ROTFL ROTFL :D :D ROTFL LOL MEGA MEGA :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ROTFL ROTFL BRILL LOL :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ROTFL OVER LOL MEGA :D BTW......dead yet?

This only counts for C64ers, it's a bad coder who cannot program the C64 (Dropzone PeteD comment), but when it is on A8 (eg Rampage), the computer is oh so bad (Rocky Mountains).

And here we have a real knowledgeable C64 user. Digitized, digitizing or digitization

I'm only gonna talk like Rocky now: LOL MEGA LOL, :D :D :D :D MEGA LOL :D :D LOL :D :D MEGA LOL :D :D LOL MEGA BRILL LOL :D :D LOL LOL LOL :D :D :D LOL BRILL OVER MEGA LOL :D :D LOL LOL MEGA :D :D :D :D and somebody here was saying C64ers were the COOL ONES at school? Now that, my friends, truly is the biggest joke of the year.

Sorry I got it wrong (once in a while I do, not very often like our companion Rocky who always gets it wrong, but sometimes). Archer MacLean: The Atari is the PORSCHE of home computers (ZZAP! C64 magazine):

Rocky's wrong AGAIN and AGAIN, posting without thinking (How do you do it?), you were asking about Atari rip-offs which I provided, nothing more. Can't you even get that right if you have to think so hard to come up with a (as usual) totally nonsense answer? :D Here's a nice C64 screen shot for you: And you know what's coming: BTW, aren't you dead yet?

Don't ask me, ask the WoS guys, if you are so wound up about the Spectrum. All I am saying is the fact that the Spectrum was the best selling 8 bit computer in UK, and WoS keeps saying their games and machine are best. Now, you obviously will say that it's gullable to believe those guys....but then I have to assume that whatever you say is bull as well.

Apple ][ has the best keyboard imo, designed by Steve Wozniak. And who owned a Memotech anyway? I've seen one at SAMS (Stafford Alternative Micro Show) way back, it was sitting there all lonely without any computer love.

uuuuh I love the jealous talk.

Now you are really moving into the land of fantasy, Atari's own software house rocked on A8, those guys were doing the coin-ups and the computer conversions...(ok maybe not on C64, maybe those conversions did suck),

The WoS guys wouldn't agree with you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umFRpUqcono Looks like a pretty accurate arcade conversion to me As I said, an ATARI rip-off ;)

Try FS II on A8 cartridge, 0 seconds to load, try FS II on C64 fdd, 5 MINUTES TO LOAD THE TITLE SCREEN

From HAL Laboratory, Commodore only being the publisher. irrelevant, the question was NOT 'written by the house of Commodore.'

Dropzone..interesting.....wasn't there something posted here already. A quote from Archer McLean in ZZAP! issue 12 or so? Atari XL being the Rolls Royce of 8-bit computers, C64 just a 320 BMW? Gotta dig out my ZZAP!s and I'll post that quote. I think it was in Retro Gamer too, gonna search. Wasn't THAT a degrading statement in the forceful C64 magazine ZZAP!? (I always wondered why ZZAP! review team also always mentioned the A8 being the more powerful of the two)

You ask I shall deliver. From the house of Commodore: Obviously C64 tried to compete with the VCS :D :D You know the drill: BTW, aren't you dead yet?

Obviously most of them are the C64 users :D
