can u spell action right really annoying in the title

[MelonStorm]

@SuperNintendoWizard

The English word "action" is "Aktion" in German. The description is in German as well.

Perfect!

mein erster composter...den 1084sd monitor hab ich auch noch irgendwo im keller rumfliegen ;-) kennt noch jemand das spiel ACE (flugsimulator) für den +4?

[gamorbab]

Could you show Mr. Puniverse or Berks 3 gameplay videos with this setup? I mean, that kind of a demo shows off nicely the power of the Plus/4 but it doesn't show all the quality nostalgy that computer is capable of, hehe..

[MalstormG]

I bought a lightpen for this computer, still remember the name: "The Trojan cadmaster", all it could do was draw squiggly lines on the tv (which you couldnt even save). The pen broke after 3 weeks. And why would u not make this c64 compatible.

[lewis72]

I think that Commodore shot themselves in the foot by not making the Plus/4 compatible with the 64 games.

[1337Shockwav3]

C64 was commodore's biggest blessing, but it's coffin nail as well.

[gamorbab]

Or at least C64/Atari joysticks, or peripherals.. C16 had all proprietary connectors, which was a very bad decision on Commodore's part, and one that didn't even make any sense. Also, why only 16k in a NEWER computer than C64? That also makes no sense whatsoever. C16 was a cool computer, it was my first - but damn, it could've been much better in many respects, and more successful with compatible ports and all. Of course then there was Plus/4, never saw one of those though.

Hallo Shockwave3,

Die Demo findest du hier:

Could you name the demo shown here again? I'd love to run it on my plussy.

[Murple333]

If only they'd given it sprites...

[gamorbab]

Yes, I agree. But one blessing about C16 being so 'crippled' compared to the earlier model (C64) was that it allowed it to be CHEAP! Which meant that kids who couldn't afford a C64 (back then a C64 cost five thousand of our currency, when C16 was only about 300), could buy a C16 and still get in the computing world early on.. and later on they could afford a C64 when it got cheaper (this is my life's story, hehe).

[trophy242]

Yes, this is strong argument which is worth to be remembered in any discussion like that. Today many people forgot about price differences, which were the basic factor when you had to make the choice. Similar story is with Atari ST and Amiga in the late 80s - the first computer was not as good as Amiga, of course, but was still very good with its price and the fact, you could connect in to TV set without any add-ons (if you have STM/STFM model) and have fun with only 0.5 MB of RAM.

Sorry forgot to mention...Is that the 1551 floppy drive you have connected up there??? I think there was also a dot matrix printer available when they was released (1984)

[nitewavs77]

Certainly looks like it, judging by the cartridge port interface.

[Drpepper99uk]

Hello,

That's excellent!! I have a Plus 4 with all the original games like Treasure Island(my favourite) Exorcist, Harbour Attack, Fireant Etc...Long live the +4 ;-)

[YouTubed]
