 |  Re: Just to chat: what is, in your opinion, the greater lack of Plus4? (if any...)
As Plus/4 a gamer...
From the start the C16's 16k memory got in the way.
The C16 was designed to step on the toes of the ZX Spectrum in every sense of the word yet was treated as if it was a mini C64 in many respects. Your be hard pushed to find a game from the early days that resembles what the machine was made for. I think the greatest example of what should of been coded on C16/Plus4 was Video Meanies.
Imagine a world back in 1986 where all games were coded in the GFX style of Video Meanies and we might of had many more Grade A titles.
I have no regrets what was done back in the golden days as I loved every moment, but I always wondered what if the C16/Plus4 world was a Video Meanies world as it was intended to be.
