Upscaling from the Perspective of My Own Pixel Game Art

• empressplay 5y ago
  As an aside, some classic video game artists relied upon NTSC phase shifting to create artifacts that were themselves part of the art. A good example of this is the double high-resolution graphics (DHGR) mode on the Apple II, where this method was employed by a number of different games, and hence can be a challenge to emulate properly.

    Double high-res mode is also quite complicated to program, so it should be complex to emulate, right? Only fair. But really I have the highest respect for people who can manipulate Apple ][ graphics well, it's definitely an art of its own.
