   For a list of features and the like of the various models, take a
look at the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions, archived on
the WWW at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html

   Except for a few oddball copy protected things, the //c and //e are
pretty much identical to games. [The //c comes with 128K of RAM
standard, but most //es had that on the addon Extended 80 column card;
the //e is more expandable later on.] Most games work great with 64K,
which both models had. From what I've seen on the
comp.sys.apple2.marketplace, //es are more common, so they may be
cheaper.
