5.-6. Computergeneration

Commodore: PET, C64, Amiga...

Amiga CD32 console

Not one of Commodore's better ideas, but from memory it had a few good games. I look forward to seeing what the kids think

If you, like me, had a Commodore 64 in 1985, and if you, like me, are somewhat obsessed with the intricacies of simulation games, then you, like me, probably loved Activision's "Little Computer People". I got it running on my Mac tonight, 20 years later, thanks to Power64.

Atari

EIZO FlexScan L565 17"

Native resolution 1280x1024 so the display is exactly twice as wide as the ST Hi Resolution image. Unfortunately the 640x400 image is scaled vertically by the monitor to become 640x480, so we see a stretched rows of pixels every 8 or so rows. Smoothing is switched off using the OSD to get the perfect black and white tones. This is my preferred display.

Atari 400

Announced in late 1978 and released in late 1979, the Atari 400 computer was originally code named "Candy," continuing the tradition of naming things under development after the female workers at Atari. Aimed at a children's market, it has the supposedly childproof membrane keyboard. It outsold the 800, which was marketed to adults and had standard keys.
