And if you want to rub it in for yourself, compare C64 and Spectrum screenshots of Driller.

Commodores didn't have a nice colour resolution. Speccy pixels came out square on a standard TV or monitor. Commodore lo-res pixels were horribly rectangular. 160x200 vs 256x192 That's why they looked blocky. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ | spike1(a)freenet.co.uk | "I'm alive!!!

And screenshots are useless when comparing things like driller, dark side, etc. The only thing that matters there is frame rate, which was slow enough on the spectrum. Dread to think how slow it was on the 64. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ | spike1(a)freenet.co.uk | "I'm alive!!! I can touch!

The C64 picture is the one with the 3 colours on the playarea at once :-) http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0003126 http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=1645 I was hoping to compare some "still" graphics from classics such as The Pawn or The Guild Of Thieves, but it seems the Spectrum didn't have any. Yup, framerate for Driller was awful. I'll run them beside each other later on the emu's to see how they shape up. Any attempts at a game that looks better on the Spectrum?

Er, they are different games. Quazatron was never released for the C64, but if you want you can compare Magnetron, which was... http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0002986 http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=1580 Either I'm a cyclops, or that looks 3D to me. |
