  1. so this is how it is? i understand. and news flash, it's sunday, i waited a day and all i wanted was a comparison because i was genuinely interested. i might just delete my account. clearly i've wasted my time on this site


  2. (if you're going to complain, i will have to close the thread).

     

    this is always something that has fascinated me. nintendo's juggernaut of the 80's vs atari's entry.

     

    i would like a comparison of:

     

    sound: POKEY chip vs the NES sound chip

     

    Lockout: does it affect games or the system (includes modified systems)

     

    graphics: did the 7800 have any visual tricks that gave it the upper hand

     

    commercials/marketing: how well was it marketed, were the commercials well done, corny or just plain bad

     

    and finally: ports. how well did the system handle arcade ports (in house development doesn't count third parties only)


  3. stephen, what is your problem with me exactly? and no i'm not 8 years old. i'm a 23 year old writer with some programming experience, namely HTML. i can whoop

     

    your ass in halo, outrun you in madden or school you in Tetris plus I at view the ZX Spectrum as an undervalued computer with a great user base.. I have been gaming since I was in the womb. so some damned respect. it seems to be lacking in the world. I know the ins and outs of the Atari 2600:

     

    . 6502 processor

     

    . 4 colors onscreen at one time, more if bank switched

     

    . no RAM for colors.

     

    I would explain more but I don't want to bore you.

     

    Commodore 64: 64K RAM, written entirely in rom, damn near impossible to corrupt. SID chips is superior to POKEY on Atari 800. compared to the spectrum, it

     

    has more colors available, great music, BAISC V2.00 which while barebones, can be manipulated. the C64 is also the best out of all the 8 bits, minus the Atari 800.

     

    so yeah, I may be a troll to you, but at least this "troll" has a better brain, a better outlook on life and more experience gaming then you will ever have.

     

     

    for years, i have been trying to identify with people that are at least on my educational level. if this is what passes for community ten i'm in the wrong place. i'm

     

    simply asking for help. if that's a crime, ban me. but Stephen, know this: you and me, we have no more in common then an ant and a human. so take your words

     

    and shove them where the sun don't shine, cause I won't me so merciful next time. consider this a warning

     

    now, shall we continue this pointless argument?
