Title: A500 vs The X-Men??
Post by: MiAmigo on June 08, 2015, 05:14:10 PM

An obscure Amiga 500 mention, only, I can't figure out whether it's actually a compliment or an INSULT. Help me out here, folks:

I think it's a compliment.  In other words, the writer is saying that even an Amiga 500 would be able to produce better special effects than this movie had.  Unless of course the special effects were *really* bad!  :laughing:

It's a badly written sentence, but yes, I agree with Oldsmobile_Mike that it's a compliment. Kind of a back-handed compliment, but a compliment nonetheless :)
