In 1980, Apple II graphics/sound looks limited.. Graphics on the games look
very terrible... Sound is not good. Atari graphics/sound are better than
Apple II.. Why did many companies make the games for Apple more than Atari?
I attended to the computer class in the elementary school. There were many
Apple computers in the most school. Can anyone tell me a reason why the
school chooses Apple even thought the graphics and music were terrible?
Marketing. In Australia and New Zealand Apple struck deals with the
respective boards of education. It still occurs that way, Acer in
Australia for example. Its got very little to do with reliability,
performance or software. I'd imagine its the same overseas.
