I am not good at this game. I am just demonstrating to show how well it runs on a C128 with SuperCPU 128. Emu had to throttle the game back so it doesn't play too fast. Even without a SuperCPU the game plays BETTER on VDC (80 column) than in 40 column mode (Vic-II). So much for the "VDC can't do graphics an certainly can't do action based games".
It has always been difficult to capture VDC video output. I've done it, including some of my earliest videos here, but things haven't gotten easier. My old capture hardware refuses to run under Win 8/9/10/11. My new capture hardware so far is not even worth using with VDC output. I've captured this with a smart phone, which is not ideal. I'm going to look into higher end capture hardware for retro devices. If you have suggestions, I'm all ears.

I have a TON to share, but only if people are interested. I am an end user, a power user at that on the Commodore 8bit and 16bit lines. I am a competent end user on many other platforms.
Thank you for your time.
