8-Bit Show And Tell | 10 Rarely Used Commodore 64 BASIC Features @8_Bit | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Today we take a look at 10 C64 BASIC commands and other features that aren't used all that much, maybe because we didn't understand them, or couldn't think of a use for them: DEF FN, ON GOSUB, STOP vs END, CONT, RND() parameters, USR(), WAIT, and more.

![4-Byte Commodore 64 Demo and Follow-up on 10 PRINT Orthogonal [32 bytes]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aMaMzsL9vVQ/hqdefault.jpg "4-Byte Commodore 64 Demo and Follow-up on 10 PRINT Orthogonal [32 bytes]
A tiny 4-byte (6 bytes including the load address) Commodore 64 demo called NONMONOCHROME was released by Nom de Nom. We run it, and take a look at how it works. Then we take another look at 10 PRINT Orthogonal by Logiker, and figure out exactly why it doesnt work on my 64C but it does work on many breadbin models of C64.
