Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time. ![]() The expensive IBM color monitor I purchased was better on the eyes. But the real gems for me were Ninja Gaiden (1 and 2), WIzards and Warriors (1 and 2), Super Mario Bros 3, but my real favourite was Zelda II: Adventures of. It was okay, but the refresh rate on a TV is awful (well, here in the States). I remember using my mom’s C64 with a color TV set. But yet it was an option, even for IBM “business” computers.įor a home system, of course: you used a TV as output. In this game you play as a little white man that must collect all the gold on the level to move on to the next. I never did that - used the “composite” signal. In fact the C64 had many different versions differing in level design, speed and even containing an editor, but todays Lode Runner is the original, re-released today by Hokuto Force as both 15 disk based versions. When you plugged IBM CGA output into a TV set, you could actually see more colors. ![]() A friend who had one also had the TV adaptor for it which converted the RGB digital signals to UHF and gave you a separate power supply.

Commonly I would watch TV while waiting for a game on tape to load… The only 8 Bits I can remember that used monitors heavily (in the UK) were the Amstrad CPC range mostly as the power supply was buried in the monitor and the only way over powering it was to plug it in to the monitor. For my generation the fact that you plug your home computer into a TV rather than a monitor was the norm, Monitors I remember were clunky things that got in the way.
