We didn't have huge pixely sprites, they were small and blurry. It had a way softer look than todays pixel art does. My GB/GBC/GBA games were very rarely played on a 14" CRT. > To me, the whole pixel art craze looks like false nostalgia. People longing back to something that never existed that way. Its certainly could be helped by nostalgia, but that pixel art never existed because you only saw it on a blurry CRT? Yeah keep burying your head into the ground like only your taste existed.
