Well, I think he already knows this is not a C64.
We don't have sprites, so he will not do sprite based effects, not a big deal.
We have much more flexibility to manipulate how bitmaps are rendered to the screen (ff1a/1b/1f), and we have a lot of colors, these are advantages over C64.
We don't have built in SID, but we have SID cards.
We have a faster drive if needed (1551), we even have a cutting edge irq loader for that (Bitfire+4).
Oh, and we have a faster CPU.
I think Plus/4 is a pretty good demo platform that hasn't shown it's full potential yet.
