Interesting C64 vs Spectrum competition :)
I found this few days ago:
http://www.alfonsomartone.itb.it/fztsmo.html
Its a C64 vs Spectrum trial...
Its pretty funny, unfortunately not good for commodore side... Mostly because of bad c64 competitors...
p.s. Offcourse C64 is better than specy :)

This is very old.
Its one of those things that speccy owners would make up just to try to make themselves feel better :)

Yes, quite old.
Besides some cross-posting by Speccy fanatics on Usenet, this battle-axe was buried years ago.
Some speccy stuff is quite impressive, imo.

Wow, that was insanely slanted to make the C64 look bad. But we all know the real truth! :) |

"The black seemed to switch off the TV set. The blue was simply stunning. The red made the room warm. The magenta was like an exotic icecream. The green was something like freshly rained grass. The cyan was like the ocean's water. The yellow seemed got off from a fluorescent pen. And the white was clean and soft, like when the computer was turned on."
these speccy colors makes my dick hard :D |

I must admit, spectrum has some mighty looking colors (yellow is awsome :), but at the end they are just different...
Would like to bring all those guys forward in time to show them all the stuff we have now... :) |

About those colors.... the old VIC-II chip also have almost that saturation in the colors (at the cost of lesser luma dynamics ofcourse).

"The black was the colour of a infected toenail. The blue reminded me of my fingers before I lost them to frostbite. The red was the same colour as that rash that the steroid couldnt clear up. The magenta was like something left on the pavement outside the kebab shop at 4am after a bender. The green was something like snot, only not as nice. The cyan was like cyan (its never good). The yellow was the colour of urine after drinking 13 beroccas. And the white reminded me of the pus that oozes from my cat's eye on occasion."

Speccy = RGB = always 100% saturation
C64 = PAL = everybody can have his favourite saturation |

Not THAT nice because most demos are written for the Amstrad Spectrum clones which have 128 kB memory and the AY soundchip. Since those Spectrums only exist since 1986, they should be compared to the C128 and not the C64. |

Bah. Why can't you people finally accept the truth and admit the Spectrum is much better than any Commodore!
Amstrad-made Spectrums are not clones but further developed models.

The C128 is also a further developed C64 :) |

@graham: its obvious that a nice speccy demo pretty much requires AY and 128k :=) |

Fman, go read the rasterline topic, then come back after a good wipe.
btw u just said spectrum is better than ANY commodore. Earth will stop orbiting the sun when this sentence becomes true. |

I never heard a C64 scener complaining out loud and desperately about the C64's technical highness over Spectrum. That actually gives me the impression that some of them, subconsciously, really fear of inferiority, or are really concerned that they might be wrong (wether they are, or not).
Dudes, who the fuck cares if your machine is better or not. Live with your limitations/advances and go contribute to the scene, wether it's based on C64, Spectrum, or a digital calculator.
This topic is lame |

True. I also understand why Spectrum sceners use it, the beeper is just too horrible :D
By doing so the Spectrum sceners admit that the original ZX Spectrum was just too horrible to use, while the C64 scene has no problem using the original C64 and does not need the extra features of the C128 or addons like REU. The C64 is good the way it is :) |

i think G meant multicolour pixels in general, Speccy users call them blocky and forget the hi-res mode is actually higher than the Speccy's. =-) |

I don't forget that, but the fact is that 110 % of C64 games use the lores mode. Well, how many demos use hires gfx?
I can't believe Oswald is still taking me seriously. :D
