Commodore 64 Vs Spectrum
Jun 18 2008, 12:51 PM EDT
After all these years and many School boy arguments I have finally realised how much better the C64 is compared to the Spectrum.
Bought a C64 last week it is far superior......................Discuss! Sinclair Fanboys welcome!!!!!!!!!

Well i completly disagree the spectrum is much better. ok i will agree the commodore 64 had btter graphics and all that but the spectrum had the light gun, loads more games and a calculator on the plus2 model. Also what other console did you have to put a kempston joystick adaptor, but if you had one you could put a master system pad in it.

I may be wrong but did Chubby Gristle ever come out on the C64 i dont so (it may have done)

I never owned nor played a C64 I only ever played on a Spectrum round a friends house and now I own one, although I have yet to explore it..I will...one day soon,

However hopefully this may settle the debate...A quick look around Google would suggest that Chubby Gristle was released both for the C64 and the Spectrum.

I have even added a chubby gristle video to our retro video flashback section..page 6 or 7. I like the Master System pad idea. Although I did like my joysticks.

Chubby Gristle. I must buy that again!
Now thats what I call gaming. How about a PS3 or 360 Chubby Next Gen update? Thats what I'm talking about!

yeah what a video, and that guy reviewing the game what an idiot. but it was funny, and yes i can only remember 5 screens from that game.

but i had forgoton how hard it was.

I think we should start a pertition to get a 360 remake all 3d with LIVE support

anyone agree
