C64 on left and Amiga 500 on right.

C64 is playing Police Quest 1 and Amiga Sword of Sodan looks like to me

[dreadnought]

It's Police Quest but not C64. Not sure what machine it is (maybe some Apple?).

[Snoopy1234]

Doesn't look like a C64 on the left.

[derSammler]

That's a Laser 128 (Apple II clone)

[khph_re]

It's a Laser 128, Apple 2c Clone, possibly a PC XT that they used the same case for:

The that screenshot of police quest is so low res that it is most likely the Apple II version.

Yes, because it is.

But Sierra games look the same on every platform, because that's just how it was. It looks the same on Tandy, it looks the same on Amiga etc.

I think you're right it is a Lazer and seems to have a floppy disk drive on the side? Quite nice design

It that definitely an Amiga on the Right?

[derSammler]

From that single picture (I refuse to access FB), it does not look like an Amiga to me. The shape formed by the darker keys does not match any Amiga I know.

[Retro1234]

You don't need to register on FB to access it. ?I?l?l? ?s?e?e? ?i?f? ?v?i?d?e?o? ?f?i?t?s? ?i?n? ?T?h?e? ?Z?o?n?e?


I put it on YouTube

[Seiya]

when on the right appear "hotline presents" one of them said: "Amiga can do better than that".
what it means? better than computer on the left or maybe computer in the right is not an Amiga or that "hotline" present a game not very good in quality for an Amiga?.
The monitor connected at computer in the right it seems 1084 or 1084S

Amiga 500 has dark greys function keys, but that computer those keys are much more dark or maybe depends form video quality.

On the last second of the vid you can see it's an A500

[Seiya]

yes, from 1:01 it is Amiga, however, when the boy indicate with finger "hotline present" someone said "Amiga con do better than that"

I said "shape", not "shade".

The dark keys on the left form a perfect angled line between them and the white keys. But that's not how a A500 keyboard looks.

Again, refering to the picture in #4 only.

You don't need to register on FB to access it.

I did not say anything about registration. Facebook.com and some of their CDN domains are completely blocked on my whole network on DNS level. I won't ever access FB due to their massive tracking. They know who you are even without registration.

It doesn't?

[dreadnought]

Angles aside (perspective in a shaky vid can be skewed) there's the fact that Sword Of Sodan was released only on Genesis, Macintosh, and Amiga. And this machine is definitely neither Genesis nor Mac

That's only prove that this is an Amiga. Why would it suggest the contrary ? He just means that the Amiga could do better than this screen. Put any Tiertex game on and you will say the same.

There isn't much of a discussion there. This is definitively an Amiga 500.

Here is the original video

I didn't realise I have seen these two before. Couple of Terrors when they were younger

If you look at there channel there is a a couple of videos like Florida video and Metallica they put some graphics in there videos and I assume they use an Amiga with a Genlock.Also in one video where they interview Keith, one of them is wearing an Amiga T-Shirt.

Amiga Genlock?
