It's interesting how the colour palettes of those old computers went a long way to define their character. I was an Amstrad CPC owner, and its games tended to have a bright, saturated look whereas C64 games always looked a bit brown and washed-out to me[1]. Later on, as an Amiga owner I was always a little jealous of the SNES for the quality of its colours.
It would be cool to see a video on Amiga graphics and the crazy things you can do with bitplanes and copper lists.
[1] check out these shots of Trantor on different 8bit platforms. You can tell straight away which one is CPC or C64 (http://frgcb.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/trantor-last-stormtrooper-go-1987.html http://frgcb.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/trantor-last-stormtroope...)
