i think the zx spectrum is an underrated machine.
in the past it was a great machine and there are still loads of
plastic and rubber fake-spectrums ;-)
the music that ppl still make on zx spectrum still kixx. sometimes even better than sid.
google for ay-riders and check their mp3's. |

I don't think Speccy is underrated, I think it is constantly overrated. The gameplay of Speccy games is NOT better by default, and the demos are NOT great because they show the same movelist effects the 1000000th time. Also, is the 1986 Amstrad +2 or +3 really a Spectrum? Then you could also say that C128 demos are C64 demos since the C128 is the 1985 version of the C64. |

AY-Riders is just phnomen. most of speccy's music is just lame , but not as lame as atari xl/xe music ;-)
I've met Factor6 and second guy from that group , I forgot his nick . I was talking with F6 and I said that his music is really great and so on ... he replied that he knows that , he is the best and zx people stopped participating competitions because he always wins ;-)
anyway... zx's graphics are maybe good in fake 256 colour mode - modern speccys have got a special mode where two 16 colour bitmaps are crossfaded - that looks rather nice. |

I wouldn't call Interlace "Crossfading"... Anyway, it's not 256 colors but 136 colors because the mirrors of color mixing result in the same color. |

some speccy demos are clearly better technically than c64 ones, speccy can do texture mapping (env phong) way faster then the 6510... |

I don't see why Speccy DEMOS are technically better if stuff runs 2x speed due to 2x faster cpu :)
Anyway, I still argue that 128K Speccys should be compared to C128 and not C64... C128 is much more compatible to the original C64 than a Amstrad +2/+3 is compared to the original 48K Spectrum. |

That's an easy one, it's dealing with 3x the screen RAM. =-) |

LOL yes ofcourse :D Did you expect a screenshot to show the lacing? How should that be done? |

But it's not dealing with 3x the calculations for texture mapping because also them Speccy coders use 4x4 modes :D |
