cloudlessPC Engine (TG16) games are so colourful! I wish more modern games use bright colours like they used to do.
Question that might sound dumb.
Were they actually this vibrant back then or were they made more vibrant to make up for limitations of a CRT?
Little bit of A, little bit of B. The sprites were also designed with CRT limitations in mind so they generally look better than they do on non-crt screens
BlackmistThings like stippled dots or vertical lines especially would blur into each other making new colours or faking transparency.
Random video to demonstrate it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IthGu6Ysmpc
But if your TV was too good, you wouldn’t get the effect as much.
