Disagree about the Ataris. They were very popular gaming platforms at the time.

  Not the ST, which would be the competition we're talking about vs the C64, etc.

    A matter of geography - the ST was very popular in europe (as was the amiga).

    You can't compare the ST and C64. C64's competition were the Atari 400, 800, XL and XE lines. Most games came out for both platforms. Atari's player missle system was both an advantage and a disadvantage in some respects. The ST and Amiga were competitors but completely different platforms than their respective predecessors. When you're talking Mac - the Apple II would have been the contemporary of the C64 and Atari 8-bit lines. There were games on Apple computers as well, but I suspect not as many. They were completely dysfunctional and the Apple IIgs was a really fun machine.

      *weren't - I meant that Apple computers _weren't_ completely dysfunctional..

        I was a Commodore kid, but the one thing Apple had that it didn't was The Robot Odyssey. Hell of a game.

    The ST was competing with the Amiga, not the C64.
