Commodore 128 for the show on October 1st

[Performa]

At VCFMW I had the opportunity to buy a copy of the 8-Bit Guy's "Attack of the Petscii Robots" for the Commodore 128 computer. This is neat, as the C128 doesn't have very much software (let alone gams) that actually use the C128's enhanced graphics and RAM- almost everything at the time just used the C128's Commodore 64 operating mode. After getting it home, I wanted to test it out on real hardware, and here's the result!

The game is built with the 40-collumn mode in mind, so the 1702 monitor will be fine for this.

I'm rather excited to finally have a "reason" to bring out the C128. Showing off what it can do is kinda hard at shows when virtually all of the software built for it is office software that doesn't really show off it's enhanced capabilities. Its just a bulkier C64 at that point, so I haven't bothered bringing it until now. I'm hoping that there are more C128 games made in the future now that Petscii Robots has been proven success, but this is certainly a good start.
