   The C64 had numerous arcade games and thousands   
   of games that were never, ever released on the NES.   
      
   The Master System had beautiful colors, but not that many   
   great games. Most NES games couldn't compete with the   
   C64, especially music-wise. The SID beat them all.   
      
   Some games were only bought because Master Hubbard made   
   the music.Check the High Voltage SID archives and you'll hear   
   what I mean. SMS, NES,5200, Coleco and 7800 can't compete.   
      
   The C64 didn't have flickering sprites as the consoles had. The C64's   
   sprites could be 320*200 and often were multicolor/hires overlayed.   
   The C64 could also produce more than 16 colors, as seen in some   
   games and many demos.   
      
   On the C64, games were cheap on cassette. Every disk-drive   
   owner had pirated games. There are thousands of games,   
   commercial ones, public domain and games from cover disks.   
      
   Every C64 owner has to agree that the C64 beat the NES and   
   the SMS (and the lame ATARI 7800) back in the day.From 1982   
   on to the late 80s the C64 was the TOP 8 Bit system.   
      
   What is Super Mario compared to Great Giana Sisters? Nothing.
