These seem worse IMO. Not sure if it’s the medium (eg more saturated colours, the particular website) or if I just like the compositions less.

    They have more color but way less resolution, thus less detail. Pretty much what you would expect to see, given that the original Mac and Amiga came out around the same time.

      Both Motorola 68000 machines, typically 512K-1024K of RAM. So similar underlying constraints, under which they made very different choices for how to prioritize graphics.

      Weird there were no hires images. Amiga's horizontal hires resolution was >720 pixels.

      Of course, in order to get square pixels, you needed to enable interlace as well.

The colour palette of Amiga is really appealing to me. I used to love watching game screenshots printed in games magazines available in my country.

That's how I fell in love with Monkey Island and Flashback
