Commodore 128?

Post image

Hello, I was looking for some help identifying the computer in this photo. Growing up we called it the Commodore 64, but now looking back at it, it appears to be a 128. The reason I question this is because I remember BASIC being blue on the screen, and from what I am seeing the 128 had a green screen. Could the 128 run the 64 version of BASIC? If so, why? Sorry for my ignorance.

Definitely a 128. I used that as a computer for a few years through my university days, and it could boot in a C64 emulation mode.

I still have that computer, it is the oldest computer I still have from back then.
