RE: The Software Piracy Chronicles of Slobberchops (The THG Years) – Part Twelve
EGA, I had forgotten about that one, here in the day of 24+MP cameras, it is hard to remember graphics quality from back then. I still can not remember where Hercules graphics came in but I do remember CGA, VGA, SVGA, and now I recall the EGA. Graphic standards were as hard to keep up with as the changing speeds of modems. I sometimes wonder, (but not enough to check yet), if dial-up modems have passed the 56K standard. There must still be a few dial-up sites out and about.
EGA was 16 colours, not too good considering the Amiga was out there and a great rival. By '92 VGA was more commonplace and at 256 colours was great. By this time I was mostly off the Amiga and played everything on the PC.
Modems were still 14.4k V32 BIS and HST. 56k came later.
