In development - a new game for the C128's VDC

https://goodwell.itch.io/crawl128

Hardware Requirements
This game is designed to run on the Commodore 128 (yes, in C128 mode), and is using the VDC-Chip (not the VIC-II chip, which is used in C64 mode). Also, the VDC-Chip needs to have 64kB of VRAM available.

Those posts were made 15 years ago and, unfortunately, links do go stale.  Fire up your favorite search engine and search for "mapping the commodore 128"—include the quotes with the search phrase to reduce false positives.
