The information about the Commodore is very wrong. 5M sold? Make that 17M Discontinued in 1985? Make that 1994

My 10 year old Lumia's all have the needed manual controls. What I would like to add: if you want the absolute best of the best: use a RGB SCART 14" Consumer Trinitron with a flat tube, because it is distortion free, has less reflections, wide gamut phosphors, and has about the nicest subpixels with a quintessential 2-directional blur. A PVM is way to sharp IMO. I record the sound directly via the line-in, and use a short macro lens like a 60mm. My holy grail is the 85mm PCE lens, as that even allows me to shift the reflection of the camera out of the image, without getting a skewed image.

The TI-99/4A (!) was incredibly slow, due to some defect in the design, no one noticed any "16-bit performance". The Commodore 64 seemed a lot faster at 0.98 MHz.

Love your video, and after 40 years, I finally got an Atari 520st, reconditioned and cleaned, with a new drive. She's a beauty, and I fired up some games which are awesome. Back in the day, I'd look at them through the shop window, and pray I'd get one. But, alas, they were just too expensive. I remembered thinking, "One day, I'll have you." And so it is. I will have to get Dungeon Master. Finally, I have one!

Thanks for bringing back fond memory of my childhood and teenager times❤️ If you think those keyboards were bad, let's add MO5 and Spectrum 128 keyboards for comparison 😀😀 I typed a lot on a Toshiba MSX, Amstrad CPC128, ATARI 520ST and AMIGA 500/1200. They were good keyboards for the price. MO5, Spectrum and all rubber based keyboards were awful to type on. I wonder how price of Model M compares to home computer in 80's (internet search was not helpful).
@RetroDreamАй бұрын
Totally agree. This video does not provide any judgment, just visual and audio evidence. Some were good others were bad. The awful rubber keyboards are not part of this video which is dedicated to mechanical ones.

The MSX version fits onto a 16k rom. Those Japanese MSX games were designed for Japanese systems. Small things like music tempo, refresh rate and the screen being stretched will not be quite as intended on an original European setup. The C64 version probably programmed in the UK would have the opposite problem if running on a ntsc system
