Hello,
I don't know if some oricians have a look to others 8 bits machines. There is an interesting demo on CPC.
It's not a demo from usual cpc sceners. This demo group shows that cpc demoes released are a big joke when you see cpc hardware.
This group shows that CPC is the best 8 Bits computer for demo.
I think also that CPC is the best 8 bits computer :
Advantages
* Z80 (3,3 Mhz) a lot more powerful than 6502. The equivalent is the 65C816 (but 65C816 has less internals registers)
* Z80 has 16 bits registers
* Can scroll a lot of things with 0% CPU (video chip can play with TV Emission Gun)
* can move vectors for video ram
Disadvantage
* Video ram is not linear, when you reach the end of the line, the next byte is 8 lines belows the current line (Electronic Video chip had been hacked, there is this matter)
* No text mode
* No hardware sprites (except for CPC+)
