The biggest limitation was the 40 columns TV/composite/svideo display. The C128 with its 80 column rgb video would’ve made more sense for those apps.

When Jack left Commodore, they were pushed into a different market, at the wrong price point, where they were ultimately not successful. Right. I think they were about two years to late to be relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
