the ZX80 only had 1K but the 16K extension was very popular

mirrorbird (17:20:30)
still it's not much!

data on ROM cartridge can be accessed instantly so those consoles could survive with a bit less RAM than a regular computer

very fast face

Rapture (17:19:13)
yeah but wouldn't it flicker? or doesn't it bother the LCD screen that the content is displayed (very face) like a racing beam. well, I think it would display fine, as it's so fast you wouldn't see it anyway.

128 bytes of ram also silly. other machines around that time had more. at least a few KB

mirrorbird (17:18:12)
i think you need an adapter

David Crane said only 25% CPU time left for game calculations because of that silly beam race thingy. Heck, insert some VIdeoRAM. primitive machine! (says a LOVER of a2600) wowie

A question: Would an Atari 2600 work on a modern LCD or LED screen? technically I mean. Because there is no beam to race... but the whole hardware is designed around it. would the screen flicker?
