+eebuckeye Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I have been trying to locate a good source for disk images for C128 mode to use with the 1541 Ultimate. I can not find the image for "I am the C128" by Activision (and other commercial 128 software) and would like to find many public domain programs. I know programs for the 128 are hard to find but have seen quite a few in RUN magazine, etc.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 There's not a lot to begin with. Maybe a handful of games that require 128 mode. There's probably 2-3 dozen games for the C64 that detect the faster CPU ability and take advantage of it, either from the onset or done later on as hacks. Fairly sure there was a recent thread on Lemon64 about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+eebuckeye Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Agree.. there was not much software specifically for the 128 but I have seen a decent amount of public domain software.. would be nice to get as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertB Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Ah, too bad www.commodore128.org is not around anymore, because there was a comprehensive list of C128 software listed there (and there was quite a bit, relatively speaking). Also Loadstar and Loadstar 128 disk magazines had C128 software in their disks.

RobertB Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Ack, I almost forgot about the many C128 programs on the library CD-ROM of the Toronto PET User Group. http://tpug.ca FCUG celebrating 33 years, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group http://www.dickestel.com/fcug.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that most of the list is cloned at http://www.commodore.se/c128.htm However, the site is missing some of the more recent news, like that of Digimaster 128.

NumbThumb Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Not exactly on topic, but some really impressive C128 images on YouTube here: VDC Mode Mania Commodore 128 64K VDC Ultra High GraFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
