I never had an actual EGA GPU and only experienced EGA through switching to the EGA mode as some games offered. Nevertheless I feel like there is something oddly special/atmospheric/psychedelic/whatever in the EGA pictures. I'm glad I have seen this kind of graphics. EGA is pixel art squared, it is to colour what pixel art is to actual graphics so never seeing EGA is the same kind of loss as never seeing pixel art.
- the_af 6y agoDitto, and fully agreed with your post. Though it's odd seeing EGA called a "GPU"... that's later terminology, back then this were graphics adapters or, in our street parlance, "graphics cards" ;) There was also an odd time where every graphics card got called a "VGA" in its broadest sense, unrelated to actual VGA modes. I feel it's time to talk about the beloved Hercules adapter and SIMCGA!
