EGA on the C128? And it looks great
Errata: VGA was actually introduced in 1987, not in 1989!
German version of this video here (including a small scene featuring my Amstrad PC1640 showing Ultima V EGA on a CGA monitor):
• EGA am C128? Schaut super aus!
We compare capabilities of EGA graphics cards with the VDC-Chip.
Not surprisingly, the VDC-Chip holds up pretty well.
Programming is done in Commodore Basic 7, introducing a 30-year old Basic extension called VDC-Basic.
A german version of this video is in the works.
