| Re: Is the Plus/4 more advanced then the 64?
In our opinion, yes the Plus/4 is better than the 64. More available RAM, the RS-232 routines go through a true 6551 chip (up to 19kbps), more colors and a better BASIC.
But the 64 has sprites and better sound, which makes the 64 better for graphic-oriented games.
The largest reason the Plus/4 failed in the US was because it lacked 64 compatibility ... and retailers tried to sell it as an upgrade to the 64.
