It's not supposed to "beat" anything. It's not a /serious/ platform, it's a platform for serious hobbyists :)


I agree, and I'd say that's what the classic Amiga is nowadays too. It does have a practical use in that it inspires people to see exactly what they can squeeze out of limited hardware. "Modern" programmers (I'm sounding like a right oldie here - I'm only 23!) can get away nowadays with writing stupidly inefficient code... it doesn't really matter when you've got 4GHz to play around with.  8-)

I can still remember being shocked by the sound and COLOR graphics of my C-64,  I still  have some of my "artwork" printed out on a dot matrix printer.   Black and white of course - only corporations could afford the many thousands of dollars for a color printer.

It was this machine that led me to my A500 then A2000 etc.

Glad to see this fun news item.

Absolutely!! When the C64 came out nothing could touch it! The sound of the SID chip was remarkable. Even now the things demo coders are doing with the SID and VIC chips are amazing.


And you still get C64 competitions at demo parties too! :-P

this is cool, especially since the whole commodore 2000 seems to just be alot of bull. but personally, id rather see someone finish work on the Loki.

Yahoo! is such garbage. They should move their site to Easyspace or Fsnet or something.

Useless or not, this is a good idea. Hopefully it will sell well and many hobby programmers make some cool apps.

Well done Jerri. It has my thumbs up.  :pint:
