I think you are right. QBasic was only capable of 320x200 with 256 colors.

- joneholland 9y agoYou could link against native libraries. There were a handful of graphics libraries written in assembly that we used to do fast blitting and resolutions higher than 320x200. Back in those days, drawing a pixel was just writing to the vga memory buffer, so it was pretty easy.
- mega-tux 9y agothere were several libs, mostly shareware, that extended the list of supported resolutions with VESA & VGA-modeX ones. I used it a lot of times. Nice days.
