Most of the programs that support dual screen are recent retroscene things (such as Petscii Robots and the Eye of the Beholder port), but I think I have read about at least one game that used it back in the day. Some obscure tabletop wargame-like thing.
- rasz 4y agoCGA monitor in 1985 cost you as much as another C64.
- vintermann 4y agoYeah, well, the C64 was dirt cheap too!
- rasz 4y agoCorrection, CGA monitor ($249) cost almost as much as C128 ($299) http://www.wishbookweb.com/FB/1986_Sears_Wishbook/files/assets/basic-html/page-663.html http://www.wishbookweb.com/FB/1986_Sears_Wishbook/files/asse... C128 $300 + floppy $200 + CGA monitor $250 when you could have gotten $750 Atari ST with 640x400@70 mono monitor, or $599 without one for use with TV.
