If Commodore used the Z80 chip...what would it have been like?
Heh.... Had a Z80 in the C128

Oh, it would be great to find those programs!

I just did a quick search, go here http://www.z80.eu/downloads/ and download DEMO.COM, DEMO1.PCX, and DEMO2.PCX. This demo uses high resolution 8563 graphics and SID sound. It also utilizes the joystick, paddle, mouse, and keyboard, all in CP/M mode.

I found this link too http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33574&postdays=0&postorder=... where there are some interesting screenshots of some full color CP/M games.

Just quickly looking. I'm not sure if there are some links or not, but it could help you if you're serious about searching for them :)

WOW! I just saw a video

WOW! I just saw a video posted 16 hours ago in YouTube in regard to graphics using the 8502 in CP/M by Steve Goldsmith! THIS GUY KNOWS HOW TO ROCK 128's CP/M!! Check out his CP/M VIC demo that uses graphics and sprites!
