Re: X68000 Z
Tha Sharp X68000 is hardware-wise way more sophisicated than the QL - With its 7 custom chips it supports screen resolutions up to 1024x1024 and 128 hardware sprites, basically bringing it up to par with early 90's more advanced arcade machines (I'd say it easily outperforms the Amiga and its high-p...
