All and all I did not get to experience the various graphics modes int
the PC world. Had a Mac most of that time. I believe I was looking at
black and white till 1996. Got my Mac Performa and had my first color
Mac. Faster and more color was nice, but I do miss the simplicity and crispness of the black and white display. Mac was so cute early on.

Yeah, that's how it was back then! Even though we had more colors, when things had less colors, the resolution of certain games and programs seemed to be better! (Ohhhh the wondeful memories)

Well that is just because we had less to take our attention off of what
we were supposed to be looking at. That is my theory at least. And
the Mac games in the black and white days are a good example of that.

Remember how some of the lower res games seemed to look better with less colors sometime! Like they had more detail and easier on the eyes! :)
