#102914 - You think?

It seems that the most sucessful 8-bit-ters of that time - or at least those which were not aimed at "gaming" primarily (to rule out the Atari/Commodore types) were based on the Z80 and its clones...


You think? I don't know if the town I lived in was representative of reality, but virtually everyone I knew had an Apple computer (except me). Those were 6502-based as well and not as gaming-driven as the Atari.

On the other hand, I'd take issue with the statement that the Atari 8-bit computer was primarily aimed at gaming. Yes, there was a lot of gaming, but there's a lot of gaming under Windows, too.

I do admit I miss the old Ultima game though. That was a lot of fun to me. We'll have to translate that to the 8052 computer platform once it's up and running. :)
