'''BASIC 8''' (or '''BASIC 8.0'''){{snd}} "'''The Enhanced Graphics System For The C128'''"{{snd}} was an American-designed graphics system developed by Walrusoft of [[Gainesville, Florida]]<ref name="AussieCnA-DT"/> and published in 1986 by Patech Software of [[Somerset, New Jersey]]. The system was an [[BASIC extension|extension]] of [[Commodore International|Commodore]]'s [[Commodore BASIC|BASIC 7.0]] for the [[Commodore 128]] computer. BASIC 8.0 provided commands lacking in BASIC 7.0 to generate (color) [[2D computer graphics|graphics]] in the C128's high-resolution 80-column mode (640×200 [[pixel]]s) for [[RGB]] monitors.

The BASIC 8 package was developed by Walrusoft's Louis Wallace and David Darus, with contributions from Ken French ([[printer driver]]s)  and indirectly from Richard Rylander (who allowed his 3D solids commands for the [[Commodore 64]], originally published in ''[[Dr. Dobb's Journal]]'', to be converted to the C128's hi-res mode).
