I don't get this obsession with textmodes that the OP has: ugly, blocky, limited little things that can't mix with graphics.
When I think of textmode, I think of the BBC Micro's Teletext chip that...

Concerning 80-column text, I'm reminded of the Atari ST, which had two issues, as I recall:

What about those here on EAB who said that the Amiga FAILED because it hasn't survived to the present day in some modern incarnation?
I'm not kidding, they said the Amiga failed. I reject that...

I've been a massive fan of Amiga music since I first heard it in 1990! Even nowadays, even though I use WinUAE emulation, I still regularly listen to Amiga demos on FLAC recordings, or live on WinUAE...

I remember briefly seeing Power Drift in the arcade back in around 1990 and being quite impressed. I think it's down to the lines of sprites that make up the tracks - if I remember, they both scaled...
