I love the idea, that the C64 came with premade "graphics", ready to set with a single press on the keyboard. Fair enough for a card game or a basic platformer. To be honest, I don't practice enough to get very far. I don't really understand the "high-res" mode, but I got some books on that topic laying around...maybe someday I find the time. Are them 5.2"s empty or do they contain some ancient game jewels?
