The first thing to strike someone seeing this program is the
profound influence Color 64 has had on the author. Of course, this is
not surprising considering what a trail blazing piece of work Color 64
was, but its influence is duly noted here. Supra 128 is slightly more
well structured than Color 64, and although it doesn't require the
"Loading module..." notice due to the small size of its modules (and
the speed of c128 drives), it includes it anyway.
Supra 128 is a colorful and pleasing looking program with some interesting features, including an animated main prompt and a colorfully graphical waiting for call screen, as you can see here.
