I didnt realise the Sam Coupe was so limited - it seems a bit pointless to say the least to create a computer that has Atari ST graphics that can only be shifted at Spectrum speeds - I know its gettin on to 20 years ago now but I cant get my head round that 1.
On lookin at some of the demos and games it certainly seems a pretty impressive machine from what I’ve seen - but the more I look & read into it (i.e. quotes on this site) the less significant the computer appears to be - no wonder software houses didnt take a shine to it - it seems rather much like a waste of good potential.
