1. Compilers weren’t as good at optimising back then. 2. If I’d saved up to buy a C64… exactly how was I supposed to get access to a more powerful machine, and why would I use it as a build farm instead of as my main home computer? 3. Graphics and sound were very not portable between different makes of home computer, so you’d have to rewrite your game if you wanted it to run on other makes anyway?
