RickR Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I had a great time watching this one. Interesting note is how he laments that the C65 maybe should have been released instead of the Amiga. But the real question I had was how it compares to the 128, which seems like almost exactly the same machine. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 In thinking more about this, it really shows the mess that Commodore management was at this time. The 128 and C65 were essentially the same, with an attempt at keeping C64 compatibility that was really poorly done (having a completely separate C64 mode) and held the new machine back. C16 and Plus 4 that brought nothing new to the table. And the incredible Amiga, which they should have placed all their chips in on, but didn't. Also, by this time, their initial "business" lead with the PET was completely gone and wasted. IBM had eaten their lunch in all respects at this moment. As with many computer/game companies at this time, they had a real lack of focus and too many irons in the fire.

sramirez2008 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Saved to watch as well. I had a C64 and then a 128 myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
