  • Turbo EspritThere has been some talk on here recently about the wonderful Turbo Esprit. I thought I would compare the Spectrum version with the C64 version. Why?…

    I would assume because of speed, and colour. You can't have the same multi-coloured goodness when the C64 is using the same screen mode as the Speccy. And (correct me if I'm wrong), in that higher screen mode, it's a bit slower for gameplay.

    Tough call. Very few speccy games work effectively with colour, particularly if they have to scroll. Overall I think monochrome was usually the best choice, even if I would have much preferred to see colourful games.
