I had an Atari computer, and for years it was hooked up to a black-&-white TV. I got a job in a computer store and bought the legendary Commodore 1702 (which I still have).
It was like looking at candy. I remember some games in particular (especially from Synapse) looking just brilliant.
"Looking at candy" is such a good description of Synapse games on the 1702. I had Zaxxon, Necromancer, and Blue Max. Many Access Software titles were beautiful too (Beach Head, Raid Over Moscow,etc). Fun times!
