Invested too much in C64 software and weren't prepared for the market shifting to PC compatibles.

I remember playing Winter Games on a friend's Amstrad CPC.
Biathlon had some of the comfiest graphics on the system.

Weren't they fucked by Atari Lynx and Jack Tramiel's deal that forced them to close the office?

They could have been the next EA (back when EA was good) and done amazing things in the early 90s if managed right, with a strong focus on sports titles which carried the industry in the west. But they had no business getting into the hardware market.

I know that feel, OP...

The games should have had graphics like the covers instead of what they used in game.

>>12546626
The covers sparked your imagination for the 8 bit game.

worked out well for sega and nintendo. epyx would still be alive today if they weren't fucked in the ass by atari

NTA and yeah.

What the fuck is your problem? Are you mentally ill?

Epyx was a much smaller company than Sega, and most Sega consoles failed.
>nintendo
They were already long in the toy making business before getting into consoles. Epyx started off merely as a two man studio in 78.
>epyx would still be alive today if they weren't fucked in the ass by atari
Nah Epyx fucked themselves in the ass by making the Lynx. It was a really expensive hardware to develop and produce. Big VLSI chips, high capacity RAM, and color LCD. Atari refused to cover their ass when they went bankrupt from making that expensive shit. Gameboy in comparison was made mostly out of cheap off-the-shelf components.

yeah they were too busy playing their apple iis in japan

Just look for someone challenging a narrative. At the end of the rainbow you'll find a ridiculous cunt humiliating not only they/them self but the entire species.

>>12548506
Nta, but 64 KB was massive for a handheld at the time. The Game Gear output higher quality graphics and comparable game quality with less than half of that. It was a highly inefficient use of memory.
