Being really nice browsing PC98 threads and several others provided the image is 1x. It also doubles as free antialiasing of some sort.

And rather than talk about the game's good sides you fags decide to whine about "the state of the site" despite that being a bigger fucking indicator of walking cancers than the perma-rage autists who can't praise a game to save their shitty lives.
Fuck you.

FTFY. Never forget how much better the board was before the DC kids spammed until they got their special snowflake exemption.

Hyperbole, really.
>>5387861
Subjective joke? Palette and color schemes are very important components of composition. Before this turns into artdweebs taking shots at each other, all I'm really saying is that in a gameplay context, readability is very very important. Probably even moreso than overloading the viewer with as many realistic backgrounds as possible.

Not him but I'm also an arty fart and I love the way those games look. They're detailed but in a good way. Everyone has different tastes though, I sincerely believe the people who say they like the way DKC looks and I think those are some of the ugliest games ever.

>>	Anonymous Fri Feb 22 19:12:26 2019 No.5388810 >>5388656 Speaking from a purely technical standpoint, sparse graphics allow bigger, longer levels in a game. Elaborate graphics take a lot of space.

>>5388810
It also makes for a sparser more barren world evoking less interest in exploring it and utterly destroying any sense of wonder had in a fucking platformer. Those are the thoughts of a nu-Indie shitgame with 1-2 crappy tilesets that crib on minimalism to avoid doing real work.

And the Amiga CD32 was a CD-ROM system, what else were they going to fill those CDs with in 1993 anyway?

>>	Anonymous Fri Feb 22 19:24:49 2019 No.5388837 Nintendo's first party titles on the NES always had relatively spartan graphics while other devs like Konami and Data East had more detailed ones. By the 16-bit era, cartridge ROMs were much bigger so this became less of an issue.
