In 1982, that was a huge upgrade at the time. CGA’s graphic mode as 320x240. Hercules’ graphic mode resolution was 720 × 348. EGA didn’t arrive for two more years. Anyone doing graphics before EGA would use Hercules cards. Even once EGA arrived, while it did add 16 colors, the resolution was only 640 × 350 in color mode. If you were doing CAD, every pixel counted.
