The right programmer could make any of those graphics standards work so it’s hard to say which one was better.

You keep asking me what was better, this random platform or this other random platform or a C-64. It’s subjective. For me, the C-64 was the best all around. But the best computer in 1985 was the one you had.

The IIe and IIc had the double hi-res graphics mode that the original Apple II and II Plus lacked and also had the ability to address more memory. My IIe and IIc both have 128K of RAM.
