@@HereForTheComments Hardware sprites: Sprites (objects that can be moved independently of the background) drawn by the video controller, rather than the CPU Priority logic: Logic that allows hiding or showing certain sprites or background tiles given conditions Horizontal IRQs: Interrupt requests a video controller may issue to the CPU when the horizontal blanking periods of a frame are reached, allowing for raster effects (such as per-line scrolling, as seen on many of these demos, probably on the background stars or something)
@@HereForTheComments Priority logic allows for certain things to be "automatically masked" from being shown. Say you want to show the cat on top of the stars. With priority logic, you can just set up a bunch of sprites and it will just work as expected.

Horizontal IRQs tell the CPU when a scanline has just finished rendering, and the video controller is free to receive commands or writes to change stuff up.

While others look more accurate, the A2600 looks the smoothest as per usual. I RARELY have seen A2600 games run lower than 60 FPS
@solarflare9078 that's because back then consoles didn't have prioritised framerates. They ran off whatever hertz the tv ran at, either 50 or 60

I was incredibly impressed by the spectrum version. Atari 800 was decent too. Surprised the c16 was able to sample like that.
C16 can use PCM, but it takes up a lot of CPU. Think of it as how PCM works in the NES and SMS.
