Message-ID: <3656@topaz.RUTGERS.EDU> Date: Sat, 14-Sep-85 08:52:07 EDT Article-I.D.: topaz.3656 Posted: Sat Sep 14 08:52:07 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 17-Sep-85 05:18:43 EDT Sender: daemon@topaz.RUTGERS.EDU Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 14 From: William "Chops" WestfieldIt is generally agreed that The Atari 800 familly of personal computers has the best graphics capabilities of the current (previous?) generation. (According to the people at Lucasfilms Games division (Geez - talk about redefining "high performance graphics" can you say Anti-aliasing, fractal landscapes, 20 fps animation?)). Messages I have seen on this list imply that the new (ST) computer lacks even some of the graphics hardware that the 800 has. Is this true? Really? Why!!?? BillW -------
