 C16 + 64K expansion question

What differences are there between the C16 with the 64K expansion pack and the plus4? Are all plus4 games totally compatible with it, or are there some games that just won't work on an expanded C16?

One difference between those two would be that the expanded C16 still wouldn't have the 3-plus-1 software built in. That won't affect any of the games though. Although it's technically possible to write a game that wouldn't work on an expanded C16, to my knowledge no such software exists. So if you have an expanded C16 you should be able to run any Plus/4 software.

There still isn't a 6551 (ACIA, userport comm) chip, so anything that accesses a modem will not work on an expanded 16.

I know that's not technically a game type of application, but I felt the clarification should be made.

Spector, there is an article on my site about adding 64k AND built-in software to the C16. See cbm264.com for details.
