- bee_rider 3y agoWhat really impressed me is that I was born around the same time as the A500 but I remember playing PC games that looked worse than this, hahaha. Part of it is surely that I was using hand-me-down PCs and there was probably some time lag on the games that my dad would get through the sneaker-net. The art style is also really solid and modern which I’m sure helps hide some of the limitations.
- markmark 3y agoAround the time I got my A500, my neighbour's dad bought a PC that ran California Games in CGA at about one frame per second. I'm sure there were much better PCs available, but it didn't impress us kids much. They _did_ have Leisure Suit Larry though...
- rasz 3y agoSounds like something like Amstrad PC1512 - ~$100 cheaper than Amiga 500, cheaper even that Atari 520ST with mono monitor.
