@lmcgregoruk I love that comments I made years ago still generate responses. What ARE you talking about? I saw someone crash a Peugot 306 the other day - does that mean they all crash as a design feature? The Spectrum didn't have colour clash - some poorly programmed games did, that's all. In the later years of the ZX it was such a well-explored system that programmers were able to work with the limitations of the machine and produce games which were amazingly colourful without any clashes.

@astralbee And of course the Spectrum had that awesome colour clash that the C64 could only dream of. :-)
-
Spectrum was a total heap of crap and basically the C64 for people who couldn't afford C64s.
-
You've got to be kidding me, the Commodore 64 was the best computer around at the time. Far superior to the Spectrum in every way, same as the Amiga was way better than the Atari ST except for making music!

I'm glad you embarrassed yourself by writing that embarassing comment.

Woah. At my school all the rich kids had ZX Spectrums and went on to make lots of money as programmers. All the C64 owners were scrubbers who stole their parents stuff and pawned it to buy the machine, then spilled off-brand cola over it within a week.
They were both great in their own way. The C64 was built by hippies and so it had a cool sound chip and great colours... but the graphics were so blocky and pixelated, which doesnt matter when you are off your mash. The speccy was pixel perfect!

ORANGES WHAT
-
It was called the spectrum because the graphics were out of the normal range of human eyesight... so everything looked shit...
-
LOL...you are making stuff up now and its sad.
The C64 cost much more that the inferior Spectrum, hence the vastly improved graphics, sound and general performance. I never experienced any of the problems you describe, which indicates you are grasping at straws in an attempt to discredit a system which you resented the rich kids at school having while you had to endure monochrome graphics and shitty sound.
I graduated from the C64 to the Amiga, then on to the PS1/PS2 and back to PC.
ah, it brings back memories, nice to see im not the only 8bit nerd ;)
