>27,000 known games
At least 20,000 of them are ports from much better platforms.

Also, how many of those are "Skippy Flips Hamburger Helper!" where it's some shitty two-frame animation of a faggot running back and forth bouncing 4 pixel lines into the air?

Commodore 64 is so much better it's not even a competition.

>>12161235
how many games consoles do you know where the gamers wrote their own games?
none, thats how many.
the speccy was a blank canvas that was only as good as the artist who owned it

Yeah, another L for the dying out britbongs. Speccy was the last time they hurt the world with their bullshit. "Spectrum" is a fitting name, as you have to be on the spectrum to think of it anything else than electronic trash.

Played Dan Dare recently. Looks and plays amazing for a speccy title.

>>12161410
>it was still lower resolution

No, the VIC-II’s high resolution mode (320 x 200) had the same color depth (two colors per 8 x 8 tile) as the ZX spectrum at its standard resolution (256 x 192).

Fucking tendies!

Spectrum was a micro computer, not a console.

Secondly, a lot.
>Commodore 64
>Amiga
>Apple 2
>Atari 8-Bit
>BBC Micro
>Dragon 32-64
>Amstrad CPC
>VIC-20
>Tandy Color Computer 3
>PC-88

And a host of others.

>>12161252
Americans were busy making actually usable computer programs and video games for it.

>>12161569
Yeah, and you said, despite being cheaper, that it was still lower resolution.
Instead of admitting you made a mistake, you backpedaled with an argument antithetical to your original comment.

>>12161594
*still higher resolution, you know what I mean.

>>12161569
>>cost more than double what a spectrum cost in the early 80s
answer the point

Why do these wierds not want spectum stuiff on /vr/ anyway? Its massively popular and has a great library or are these threast just mainly created for arseholes to vent at shit they never had?

>>12161209 (OP)

Yup, probably was.45 million of them including clones and lasted over a decade..

>>12161240

>Spectrum was a micro computer, not a console.
I know Sherlock, the point is console owners cant code games on a locked system.

>>12161240
Commodore 64 CPU speed = 1.0 MHz
ZX Spectrum CPU speed = 3.5 MHz

speccy wipes the floor with it in vector based games

>>12161814
it's just Americans being mad that they missed out on it

>>12162524
>the sand eating moron truly believes clock speed is equal to power
the z80 runs slower than a .9mhz 6502 because z80 instructions take up more clock cycles to complete. do you retarded fucking faggots know anything about computers? jesus fucking christ you are stupid.

Why is it always the retards that are ignorant and arrogant at the same time?

Very roughly: a 6502 is equivalent to a twice as fast Z80. The 3.5 MHz Z80 on the spectrum had more raw horsepower than the ~1MHz 6502 on the C64.

>>12163041
The c64 vertical res is 200 pixels, not 256.

my sides. 31k RELEASES. embarrassing. let's see how the c64 is going:
>245,831
amazing. confirming once and for all that the spectrum was, and still is, as popular as AIDS wrapped in cancer, and its users are as sharp and round as a bowling ball. looking forward to reading more of your schizophrenic rants and delusional lies, jimmy savile.

>>12163538

I guess that explains how it has 27000 known "games"

>>12163524
because very few are good. and also you won't see any game discussion in such threads because such threads are created by retard schizos trying to reinvent history as dictated by the schizophrenic voices screaming in their inbred minds, and hoping that people dumber than themselves will believe it.

>>12163549
no. it has 3.4k known games, and 20k turns into 31k releases of random files of all kinds of shit - lifetime. 31k releases over its lifetime is shit. these fucking faggots couldn't lie straight in bed. just one embarrassing lie after another. give it time, next thread it'll be 200k games and everyone had a spectrum, even people in africa that were dying of aids and starving had a spectrum and were playing manic miner to get them through the day!

"The World of Spectrum Classic is an archive with a current count of over 36,914 unique titles, according to the site's own statistics."

You sad fucks really show up how miserable lying and spite filled you are everytime you post. I guess it's your estrogen pills or your mental illness.

For anyone who actually LIKES retro games as opposed to coming here to show off their mental illness and tendie cult membership status and sething ywnbaw spasticity give these a go

The Spectrum wasn't competing with consoles, SHERLOCK, it was competing with other micro computers.

I posted this one on the FPS thread. Deathchase, awesome 3d game for the Spectrum 16K:

everyone fucking hates tendies and can spot their crap a mile off, they did it to themselves by being dickheads, suck it up.

Looking on the Wikipedia it seems the Speccy has 1993 games. Now, there are fanciful reports of "27,000 games" but I've seen no actual evidence of this. It's a lot of games, but the numbers we see posted here is inflated thirteen times over what is apparently evidenced.

There are (as per the Wikipedia) 2460 MS-DOS games, which is more. And there are a whopping 2533 known Macintosh games.

Amiga has 2235 games, which is more too. C64 has 5691 games. 2193 Atari 8-bit games.
