The C-64 in multiColor mode generates a screen with resolution 160*200 pixels/16 colors. One pixel represents an area 2*1 pixels big. The screen is divided into 40*25 attribute cells and each attribute cell is 4*8 pixel big. In this mode you can use maximum 4 colors in the attribute cell. Each pixel defined by 2 bites can have one of 4 different colors. One of colors is the background color. That's why you need specific software to generate a image like it was on a C-64 computer.
