Which computer do you think is better? The COCO 2 or the TI?
Personally, I think the TI is better for one main reason. the TI has very good graphics. The graphics are clear, colorful and sharp. However, the COCO has very horrible graphics in my opinion.
Actually, did you ever try to program BASIC on the COCO? When I do, my eyes liturally start hurting from the screen. The screen is a bright neon green screen with black letters. Why did Tandy pick these horrible colors? They should have given it a black screen. In fact, the graphics are so bad that you can barely make out the letters.
However, when it comes to playability, I prefer my COCO over the TI. First of all, I have more COCO games, and they are easier to find, at least for me, anyway. I dont know if the TI has any really great games.
TRS Basic is also easier to learn than Ti Basic, but thats just my opinion, and at this point Im rambeling on a bit. :wink:
