!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Video adapters had different capabilities back in yon day.

Yeah, but none of them looked like that. (source, played this on an Amiga 500).

Kind of crazy that they had to do the art again for each video card type. Like 3x the work.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

These specific images may be recreations but typically it’s the same artwork with more color because the adapter can do more. Or shading colors or things like that.

I went looking and found this article about the art.
