ZX Spectrum (Xbox of the 80s) vs Commodore 64 (Playstation of the 80s).

I preferred the Spectrum, even though the C64 games had less colour clash.

Kind of like the SNES having more colours than the Sega MegaDrive.

And the Sega GameGear being a better handheld than the Nintendo GameBoy, you could even watch TV on a GameGear with a special adaptor.

SNES versus Megadrive... IMO the SNES had better games, such as Super Tennis, and a better version of Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

Galaga v. Space InvadersGalaga: colour, more patterns and unpredictability (relative to S.I.), harder. No 'rote' gameplay like S.I. offerred, if you get what I mean.
Virtua Cop v. Time CrisisTC: so much more immersive (duck gameplay, arcade recoil), faster gameplay, more enemy/situation variety, better-looking (for an early 3D effort).
Daytona USA v. Sega Rally ChampionshipOoooh, toughie! Can I haz both? :D

SR is much better for the driving experience/gameplay, but Daytona is much better for the visual experience (graphics, speed, audio).

Sorry I can't agree with your analogy. The ZX Spectrum was a less capable machine yet sold on the strength of it's software. The Commodore was much more capable, had a very good software base but the base wasn't as big as the Spectrum's.

The Xbox was so much more capable than the Playstation (1 & 2) but the software base wasn't there, so I believe it's the other way round. The ZX Spectrum was Playstation of the 80's and the Commodore 84 was the XBox. Although it was much close then.

Stop trolling.

Xbox 360 has better games, the only thing I will grant you is that the Playstation pad is slightly better for fighting games.

If it's Daytona, yes. If you're talking about something else, no.

Used to be one of my favourite games in the arcade back in the day.
