I’ve mentioned in another comment what I think may be missing for it to look right.
And I’m not really being nitpicky I think. It really evokes rather little about what this era looked like with “just” the right pixels at the right place.
- owl57 2y ago> 720x350 for the pervasive 80x25 text mode With 9x16 font, shouldn't it be 720x400?
- anyfoo 2y agoOops, you are right, it’s 720x400. I mixed it up with the MDA 9x14 80x25 text mode.
- fsckboy 2y agoare you referring to the IBM PC monochrome console screen? or common terminals from that time?
- anyfoo 2y agoNo, just normal VGA (and SVGA, and beyond that) monitors, up to before the first flat screens appeared. But I made a small mistake, as another commenter pointed out: VGA text mode resolution was 720x400, not 720x350.
