Amiga vs IBM PC vs ZX Spectrum from 1985 [I Heart Tech]

March 30th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Three videos here– the first is a review of the debut Amiga desktop computer and the second is a demo video from ‘85 showing off the awesome 4-color processing power of an IBM PC and the third is the helmet-wearing retard of the group, the ZX Spectrum.

Note that in the first one, the presenter has to explain things like a mouse, windows and multi-tasking.  Isn’t that quaint, when things like overlapping windows on a desktop was a huge damn deal.  The second isn’t quite as engaging in the same way– it’s several minutes of colors, shapes and patterns being generated on the fly on an IBM PC.  The third, just for perspective, is the ZX Spectrum, which was pretty standard stuff in 1985 and as you can see is a real piece of shit. But it comes with two crappy games! But it has no joystick port!
