No. While I only have seen screenshots of GS graphic screens, I am of
belief that, despite the flexibility accorded by the VDC chip in c128's,
the GS graphic capabilities are quite superior.

There seems to be more colors within a 8-bit block (pixels) of info, and
that it does not require any screen tricks or interlaced modes to do so.

The c128's VDC chip's color limitation is two colors per 8-bits. I suspect
that the GS easily surpasses it, and doing it in normal video mode, none of
that painful-on-the-eyes interlaced mode.
