How oldschool graphics worked

Hey everyone!

I found this really interesting!

Not exactly a tutorial, but something really nice for those into pixels and gaming history. Today, it's hard to imagine a world with such limitations!

Even OpenBor came a long way from its roots, so let's all take a moment to acknowledge and show our respects to those that came before us.

Nice find, erf_beto. So that is how pixels started because of the ram size. Probably starting from the simple tennis game (which is not shown in the video) to today's modern game era (both 2D and 3D; I know there are pixels exist in games ). Thanks for sharing, man.
