 +=== Mode 4
 +Mode 4 is a 256x224 "Famous Console" inspired mode. Here's a demo program:
 +
 +<codify>
 +    10 MODE 4
 +    20 FOR C = 0 TO 15
 +    30 RECT C * 16, 0, C * 16 + 15, 223, C, 1
 +    40 NEXT C
 +    50 LINE 0, 0, 223, 223, 3
 +    60 INPUT "PRESS ENTER"; A$
 +    70 MODE 1
 +</codify>
 +
 +As you can see, it's pretty much more of the same, but you may prefer the aspect ratio for classic 8bit and 16bit console games.
 +
 +=== Mode 8
 +Mode 8 is a 128x128 "Ersatz-8" inspired mode.
 +
 +<codify>
 +    10 MODE 8
 +    20 FOR C = 0 TO 15
 +    30 RECT C * 8, 0, C * 8 + 7, 127, C, 1
 +    40 NEXT C
 +    50 LINE 0, 0, 127, 127, 3
 +    60 INPUT "PRESS ENTER"; A$
 +    70 MODE 1
 +</codify>
 +
 +As you can see, it's pretty much more of the same, but you may prefer this aspect ratio for classic "ersatz retro" games.
