Yeah - those 16 colours really were advanced in 1983. All the Atari
computer owners are probably laughing their asses off at this statement.

The C64 was one of my favorite systems. Best developers, best games,
terrific sound. But your statement above is SILLY.


You seem to be forgetting that sprites were implemented in hardware, as well
as collision detection in hardware, and other nifty features.  All of which
explains your statement above about the C64 having good games.    :-)

The 9918/28 had 32 hardware sprites and 16 colors. Long before 1983
