Ah yes, I'll be back to check on all the solid filled 3d games the C64 had.

The C64 was a great music-synth with the capability to do 1 certain type of game kside scrollers) in 16 shades of brown vut that was it.

The sheer endless variety of games the Speccy supported knocked the C64 into a cocked hat.



I don't know about number of games, but I owned a C64 and my friend a Speccy, and I liked C64 games way better. They simply looked and sounded better.

I do find the Speccy charming though!


Good to see that those misguided schoolyard buddies have survived to old age as well!


You talk about schoolyard arguments but you seem to be the only one here trying to start them.


The way you talk, I have the impression that you’re actually taking any of this serious?

Back then, C64 vs Spectrum discussions were like vi vs Emacs. Good old fashioned tribalism is a thing of all ages.
