A popular 8 bit computer from Commodore released in 1982.
The C64 community always over-exagerate the C64 sound chip capacities and it's marvelous graphical display, it's avant-gardist sprites and scrollings ability and it's pure awesomness.
But the facts are :
- The SID sound like a chainsaw to the most delicate ears.
- The Amstrad CPC is superior in pure graphism capability, thanks to a colorfull palette.
- The Amstrad CPC was by far cheaper, fully equipped and with a fast Disk player (cpc 6128).
- The Amstrad CPC range sold better in France (err...Not a good argument maybe)
- Only because so many games developped on the Amstrad CPC were puny Speccy ports which didn't really exploited the CPC machines well, C64 games looked like superproductions.
- Yet, Gryzor deeply sucks on a C64...
By the way the C64 remains the best selling computer ever.
