/vr/ - Retro Games

C64 was the most versatile gaming platform ever made in the 80s. It could run absolutely everything. From the fast paced action games with high enemy and object count on screen like the Turrican series, Arnie 1 and 2, and R-Type at FULL SPEED, to the highly complex games such as Ultima VI, Sim City, and Neuromancer. It didn't require expensive special chips for almost all of its games like the NES did, yet it achieved a lot of things the NES couldn't. Action games ran at full speed without slowdowns, complex games had all their features intact. By 1985, it was cheaper to both purchase and manufacture than the NES. Games of any complexity were cheap to produce and distribute, they didn't have the hindrance of cartridges. No matter how much mental gymnastics nincels do over it, the C64 was simply the greatest gaming platform of the 80s and is just superior to the NES in every way, except for the loading speed, but most games took 2-5 minutes to load with a fastloader so nobody gives a shit.
