In Topic: Appeal of new 8-bit software.

I think the OP would get a truer, unbiased answer if he were to ask the question only to 8-bit software fans who didn't grow up with 8-bit games and only got into them later in life so nostalgia and familiarity couldn't play into the answer.

Surely there are more people using this stuff/emulation who owned them (any retro 8bit/16bit machine) in the 80s than new comers?

In Topic: Suitable TVs/monitors for 65XE

Nah OP is in London = SCART + SVIDEO + COMPOSITE standard on all HD LCD TVs.

So if he really wants to use LCD he should buy a cheap LCD TV and a 5 pin DIN to 4 RCA phono cable and an SVideo capable SCART Phono adaptor plug. TVs are like 90 bucks here for a 19".

Personally CRT is a better image than LCD I think, especially for machines that do not manage anything like Amiga levels of 640x512, for 8 bits a good condition (ie 100% convergence accuracy across 100% of the screen) portable CRT is the better choice. YMMV in NTSC LAND :)

In response to the original question.

I think people who still follow their childhood favourite 8bit do like to see stuff BUT what is really divided is from which format users will pay for new homebrew.

I think one of the reasons A8 homebrew is so strong is most people don't mind if the game isn't free and they have to buy the complete version. On other formats people who write the games imply they don't sell much but people really bug them for a free download of the completed game.

I have 1 C64 game I want to finish and also 4 Amiga games I want to finish. I don't know if I would give them away though. I don't see the point in writing non commercial quality games so from my point of view they are worth a few euros at least. Ho hum.

lol Albert is VERY patient trust me. He once emailed me to say I was suspended for a week and you don't want to know what I emailed him back (which actually I am embarrassed about now) and if I was the owner of this site I would have banned anyone sending me such a reply :lol:
