Guess cartridge was the winner by an overwhelming majority then

That's stats for you, so often they misrepresent the truth

I think I didn't post the question with enough emphasis on it being in context. Most people were replying by saying carts were better because they loaded instantly etc, which obviously is not the point. But if the people who did get the point thought the C64/Spectrum games era would have been better as £70 cartridges (in today's money) that you can't copy, then that's their problem!

carts are longer lasting but cost more to buy to this day I could buy scrabble on cd dvd and tape and floppy for 99p if its on any cart system it would be 2 or 3 quid at leastcrusto wrote:^Can you post that again, in English please? As it's just gone straight over my head.

LOL love it, you still can't accept the fact that your very own question did nor go your own way. why bother asking it you won't accept the results.
this was just an exercise in you wanting everyone to agree with you, it was never really a serious question at all.

As much as I love the Spectrum, it was my first system after all and the one I grew up with, I really do wish I had got an Atari 8-bit instead. Mainly because it has a vast catalogue of cartridge games, I really could have had the best of both worlds. Would never have needed to get a 2600 because the A8 would have done the job of a console and computer.
