  • @no1DdC Sorry but 1.789 Mhz z80 is damn slow since every instruction takes atleast 4 cycles when on a 6505 some instructions take only 2 cycles i know this since i program on both platforms. 6505 at 1.19 Mhz beats Z80 1.789 Mhz hands down.

  • @unconditionalbranch Sorry for the late answer. In 1977 there was the release of the Bally Astrocade developed by Midway. It had a Zilog Z80 CPU with 1.789 Mhz (2600: 1.19 Mhz) and 4 Kbytes of RAM, which is 32 times the amount the 2600 provided to developers. It is considered to be the most powerful gaming console of the 70s, albeit not a very well known or successful one. It also shared one problem with the Atari: It's extremely difficult to code for.

  • Philips Videopac G7000(Magnavox Odyssey) was released in 1978. But it had some graphical and sound disadvantages.

  • @no1DdC Please name one.

  • @KubaPSP No, it wasn't. Even at the time of the release in 1977 there were more powerful gaming consoles available.

  • @y2k4ever1 121 (NTSC), repsectively 114 (PAL) colors. However, those colors can of course not all be used at the same time.

  • How many colors did the atari have???

  • Are there any Atari 7800 demos like this?

  • @mast3rbug Crap machine?! Yeah, it's slow for today's standart but in 70's it was like ATI HD6990 today :D
