Oswald #1 Posted December 6, 2008 I think you should open an "oswald" topic with emkay and alison, and discuss related stuff there. edit: you know what I'll answer: its endlessly funny arguing so that the opposite side tries to claim the impossible and is clearly wrong in the moment they stop its boring. if an amiga zealot would come to a c64 forum I wouldnt try to explain him how the c64 is better nor do I try to explain how the c64's cpu is faster as an a8. but its really enterteining seeing atariski "prooving" atari sprites are better or emkay saying a8 can do 48 color last ninja So you are saying you are just here to be a pain, right? Well that sucks, I think most kids here would rather not play with you. I imagine you had a "does not work and play well with others" on a report card at some point in your life. here, from now on post stuff regarding me here, including personal insults.

Oswald #2 Posted December 6, 2008 I like the Speccy graphics. Like Apple graphics too. I'm surprised there aren't some great Beagle Brothers paint double high-res pictures online. That mode was essentially 160x192x16, with higher res options, if you wanted them and were careful about artificating. The Apple IIe came out in 1983 , the original graphics was effectively 140x192x6 ( b+w + 2 possible colours/7 pixels ) ...here's one picture... http://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/2417886747/ and some more here: http://toastytech.com/about/myap.html Thanks! My apologies for the post up thread. It didn't go where I thought it would. I enjoy the passion for the older computers. It's a really great thing in this day, to be able to still enjoy them like we do. And the emulation comments are just spot on. Entire environments then fit on a thumb drive, you can lose in your pocket today. Just didn't want the emotion to end up damaging that. In all other respects, game on! From that sport comes the occasional person with that idea that pushes it all just a bit farther, and that's really what I like to see. So then, the question to Oswald was not why is he here in an inflammatory way, but more like "Aren't you here to see the old machines do cool stuff like the rest of us are, and if so, isn't there some quarter to be given for that?" That's all. I've no beef. Text sometimes is a PITA. ...and if we are to talk about SID less sound, can't we include the system speaker, or the AM Radio tricks? LOL!!! Game on!

Oswald #3 Posted December 6, 2008 The next person who resorts to name calling will be kicked out of the 8-bit forum indefinitely. ..Al Yes, very civil of you, Oswald does name calling and you telling ME I will be banned? (I regard your answer was directed towards me, if not I accept your apology). And you even replied towards emkay: I have not paid very close attention to his posts. I suggest you'd better. (Oswald started calling emkay 'shitboy' or shittyboy, something like that, it's pretty nasty anyway, but if you can't even bother reading posts, I won't backtrack to find out exactly). I only told the truth about Oswald as he never even coded an Atari 8bit computer and seems to know better, but YOU BLAME ME? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
