Map Maker 1.0 is a native, multi-color character set map editor. It has a tile-set editor (they call it groups). Groups can be defined as whatever matrix size you determine.  It also has a map editor that has adjustable size of copy/paste functions, nice for repetition like sky or ground.  Here are some of the key mappings:

• Joystick port 1 for main menu items.
• Load character set first or you will see nothing. 
• F8 to go to map, cursor moves by character. :, ;, /, @ to scroll the map. Press c on a character, you will be in copy mode. Use arrows to adjust copy box size, return will finish selection. Move to different part of map and return to paste. To finish up, simply press c. Return to main by f8 or restore
• F7 to go into group (or tile) mode
• This mode I only f1 f2 f3 for colors, b to define start character, d to choose group size, m does something also, not sure. return to set pixel. F7 or f8 to return 
• Main menu character editor
• F1 f2 f3 and enter to edit, cursor keys and the :;@/ to move. Clear to clear current character. 

Thanks to Shawn for sharing this and discovering the keyboard and joystick controls and writing up the above.

Chess Attack 128!

In GEOS 128. On a C128.

The 6x6 board with a lot of powerful pieces changes the personality of chess quite a bit. There’s less room for deep mulit-level strategy and much more quick combat. (And you generally want to get aggressive towards the king quickly.)

It supports the CMD SCPU in 20 MHz mode if you've got one otherwise 1 or 2 MHz on the 128 works ok.

Requirements:

C128 (any model)
80 column display
GEOS 128 2.0+ (I use Wheels 4.4)
Any size Commodore-compatible REU

Here's a post with a video and details.

This is a .d81 disk image of the type in programs for the book - COMPUTE!’s Second Book of Commodore 64 Games.

GEO for the Commodore 128 is a program designed to teach and practice general information about different countries around the world, such as their capital, language, religion, currency, major cities, etc., as well as the capitals and states of the Mexican Republic.

This program requires a Commodore 128 computer and a 1571 disk drive. A joystick and/or the computer keyboard can be used for operation.

** Note - The disk looks empty but it's not, the files are hidden.  You can only boot the program by having it in the drive when the C128 is powered on, it will auto-boot the disk.

Thanks to Alfonso for providing the program along with all of the documentation and screenshots that are included in the archive.

Mapping Promal by David Wood (2015) - A documented disassembly of the PROMAL nucleus and system library for experienced to advanced users of PROMAL for the Commodore 64 computer.

Advanced Symbolic Math 128 by Mr. Bundus - Released July 16th, 2026.  I'll be honest, I am horrible at math, but some people really love it, so when Andrea sent me this program I knew it needed to be posted, because I'm sure there are folks that will appreciate the capabilities of this software.  Some of the things this program can do:

• Symbolic differentiation
• Derivatives of composite functions
• Symbolic indefinite integration
• Algebraic equation solving
• Ordinary differential-equation solving
• Function plotting on the C128’s 80-column display

To load the program, you need to first load the wedge which is the first program on the disk, then load the "msymbolic" program.  There is also a manual inside the archive in HTML format.  Additionally, you can find a video on YouTube demoing the progam - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiPwJTzjAgI&t=3s
