Has anyone pointed out yet that C64 bitmap mode is laid out like custom
character set storage? It's really weird.

There are all sorts of wacky modes you can enable on the Atari by setting the mode to decimal points or really large values that seem to mix attributes from two or more modes into one.


There is one mode that works like GTIA mode (16 shades of one hue) but you can type characters into it. But the characters come out two pixels by 8 pixels in various shades of grey depending on the underlying pixel encoding of the characters. Very strange.
