|  Re: Just to chat: what is, in your opinion, the greater lack of Plus4? (if any...)
Sprites would be my choice.... Sprites would have changed this machine and possibly Commodores future. It was cheaper than the C64, the BASIC was far superior (fun even), and the built in software was pretty cool for it's time.
If there had been sprites, it would have easily beaten the C64, and as we can see... they could do a 3rd party sound module later if need be.
Standard sprites (ala C64) would have been fine (particually with the faster CPU speed), but 16, 16x16's would have made it awesome.
It would have been nice to have NMI's as well. That stopped a lot of add-on's.
