"I wasn't the one who claimed the Snes couldn't connect to a monitor."

I didn't claim it couldn't connect to a monitor. I was pointing out that it's designed to be played on a TV, while PCs, handhelds, and arcade machines are designed to play on monitors made for them. The monitor point was just a common example AMONG ALL THREE that set them apart from home consoles.

My point is that the Amiga is not a console, monitor vs TV support or not. Gameplay or not. Just about any store, tech company, or tax import laws, would classify it as a PC. Also, comparing the CPU speed to a home console is a bunk comparison unless the console came out ten years after a particular PC (two present consoles excepted).

More specific to my point is that you called the SNES not very strong based SOLELY on CPU speed. You didn't bring up ANYTHING else about its specs, not the CPU cache, not its RAM, its spriting abilities, or the enhancement chips. All the technical discussions you try to bring up about the PS3 vs the 360, and you think ONE SPEC is good enough when discussing other systems?

It doesn't matter how strong the SNES actually is, you do not use ONE STUPID SPEC to compare its power to.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
