Why did so many 80s computer games have god awful collision detection?

Fuck you. I especially don't understand it in the C64's case because the VIC-II chip supports pixel perfect collision detection in hardware.

sometimes performance reasons, but mostly laziness or ignorance.

hitboxes are better than pixel-contact detection

c64's sprite collision detection worked well. you're just shit at games or the games you played were shit.

A lot of games were made by amateur programmers.
