There's something charming about trying to express yourself graphically with access to only 8 colours.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

More likely EGA or VGA with 16 or 256 available colors. CGA was only 4 and the colors were chosen by someone who really liked pink.

Still, there was probably some video mode somewhere that only had 8 colors.

Edit: I didn't know teletype was not PC related. TIL.

This is not pc-related though. Teletext was information pages transmitted on UK terrestrial (analogue) television channels in the long-distant past.

I've always loved it. Here in Sweden it's called text-tv.

Edit: Was supposed to say it's but said was

It's still around!

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I know but I don't use my TV as a TV anymore! Do see that I wrote "was" though.

There's also the app, but it's not the same.

Oh cool. I didn't understand that it was a completely different tech. TIL, thanks.

The BBC closed Ceefax in 2012. If that’s the long distant past then my date of birth suggests I’m an antique…

In your defence it never came to Canada.

I made that pic myself in a teletext editor, so it's genuine teletext, not made to look like it.

Same vibe as ENDOOM, though that has access to more colours. Some custom wads feature amazing ones.

Anyone remember playing bamboozle?

[–] flamingmongoose@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

FUCK YES

When I was a kid I used to play this all the time! Looked forward to new ones.
