You know, it's kinda funny how 20 years ago, Americans didn't even know the Speccy existed and now all they know it as is some weak computer with ugly graphics that only poor stereotypical bongs played

Do bongs really have genuine hatred towards anything Nintendo or is it just a meme?

There's a few bongs here on /vr/ that have been subjected to nearly every amstrad/spectrum thread being drowned with pure vitriolic malice. They have been hardened by their time here, eager to rip the flesh off of a nintendrone innocently hovering around the Kool aid bowl, talking about how oot is the best non linear RPG ever made. These are the true stories of /vr/

No one says this. We say it is the best game ever made. Because it is

As an computer dunno how, I've read quite a few microcomputer magazines and think they are neat. Kinda wild just thinking of all the various add on parts and modules. Like, how did Europe support so many platforms?

>how did Europe support so many platforms?
They didn't, they all died. That's why we only have Apple (who also almost died) and what is essentially the successor of IBM-compatibles now. Turns out most people aren't computer hobbyists and only want the platform that has the most software, which is why MS and x86 won in the PC space

Acorn won in the end by developing the ARM architecture. They can laugh from their collective corporate grave, with the whole smartphone world using tech from Acorn Archimedes.

It's really kind of amazing when you think about it. Very cool underdog story and I think ARM processors are perhaps one of Britain's greatest technical contributions to the world

Nintendo really fucked up with the NES in the UK, partnering with some faggot distributor that resulted in both the system and the games being way more expensive than both computer games and Sega games. Sega really jumped on this opportunity to start a massive marketing campaign painting Nintendo as gay and kiddy, resulting in a lot of brits growing up in those times having a very negative image of Nintendo in general.

And now you got those manchildren that think it's still 1990 and you'll still be though of as a nerdy loser if you don't denounce Nintendo. It's weird.

Not Nintendo, just Americans who won't shut up about old yuro computers. It stopped being funny years ago. No one brings up the their mind boggling incompetence, something that resulted in an almost industry destroying crash. Well, at least in that part of the world; the rest of us actually knew what we were doing... No one makes mention of the insane amount of excruciatingly bad shovel ware they churned out during the sixth and seventh gen. No one says jack about the fact that they spent their youth reading nuance free 100 word reviews in dog shit vidya mags and that they're now uninformed to what makes for a decent game as a result. We don't bring it up because we're not all mentally ill.
Feels good that we're renting so much space in your heads by dint of just existing. Long may your bitter, spite filled spergfests continue.

The NES released in the UK less than a year after its US release, and of course the games were more expensive - they were cartridges rather than tapes.

It was more that the America had shat the bed so completely with video games, that the already obsolete NES faced absolutely no competition.

The Amiga was already out and the 16-bit era was well underway when Nintendo began expanding into the West.
Nintendo and Sega did almost nothing really right, it's more that Atari did everything so incredibly wrong.

They almost all ran on the Z80 or 6502 CPU, in most cases converting from one system to another wasn't really as hard as you might think.

>So many

It's more that seething Burgers are (rightfully) ashamed at their total inability to have a domestic video game industry, and so have to loudly pretend that Nintendo is just the best thing ever.

Non-Bong Euro here. Grew up on both NES and C64, then SNES and Amiga. Consoles and computers were both good shit. The Speccy is cool.
