@maxoakland they had to stop somewhere. The C64 was already more advanced on that front than any other personal computer. I do think it's unfortunate we didn't get new capabilities in the 128. It's basically the same graphics as the 64. And, the 80-column mode was not usable for games (except a rogue-like, maybe, or maybe for an information display for the game on the 40-column display, since you could have both at once).
