   Aug 14, 2013 · The Commodore-64 is to the Atari 400/800 what the ColecoVision is to the Atari 5200. C64 & CV: better-drawn (more "rounded") sprites/graphics, smoother animation, "limited" 16 colors. A8 & 5200: overall blockier sprites/graphics, choppier animation, big palette of 256 colors.

   Is 64 better than Atari?

   • However, the only 64 advantage I see when playing games on the systems is that the 64 seems to have more detailed/higher-resolution sprites. Atari has more colors and seems able to move objects faster. Hard to pick a winner using only graphics as the criteria...probably 64 just because of those detailed sprites.

   Is Atari faster than Commodore 64?

   • On paper, the Atari was about 76% faster than the Commodore 64, which seems like a huge difference. That’s like the difference between an i3 and an i7 CPU. In practice, it didn’t exactly work out that way. The Atari usually was faster, but not 75 or 76% faster, like the specifications suggest.

   Did Commodore have a faster disk drive than Atari?

   • Atari had the faster disk drive, although neither of them were as fast as Apple or IBM in this department. Speedup products for both were available, although Commodore needed it more. If the Atari 800 had been a little bit easier to program, Commodore would have had a hard time.

   Why did the Atari C64 come with basic software?

   • Crawford said Atari wanted to keep software sales to themselves. By contrast, the C-64 came with a manual that taught you how to program it, and it had Basic built in. Atari didn’t include Basic until the 800XL, released in late 1983. That was then… what about now?

   Jan 26, 2013 · The major commercial releases for the Atari 8 bits died out long before the C64 did, so you're correct that for many mid to late 80s RPGs and games in general, the Commodore or the Apple II or even DOS are the only versions.
