There’s something charming about trying to express yourself graphically with access to only 8 colours.
Same vibe as ENDOOM, though that has access to more colours. Some custom wads feature amazing ones.
More likely EGA or VGA with 16 or 256 available colors. CGA was only 4 and the colors were chosen by someone who really liked pink.
Still, there was probably some video mode somewhere that only had 8 colors.
Edit: I didn’t know teletype was not PC related. TIL.
This is not pc-related though. Teletext was information pages transmitted on UK terrestrial (analogue) television channels in the long-distant past.
Oh cool. I didn’t understand that it was a completely different tech. TIL, thanks.
The BBC closed Ceefax in 2012. If that’s the long distant past then my date of birth suggests I’m an antique…
Teletext is still running in the Netherlands on the public channels. Including on tv(digital), a website and of course a smart phone app.
Even know some “younger”(3 are 30 something and 2 are 20 something) people that like to get there news and football results from the teletext app. They like the lack of ads and that it’s just simple text.
link to the Dutch teletext website. if you want to enjoy the old feeling.
In your defence it never came to Canada.
I made that pic myself in a teletext editor, so it’s genuine teletext, not made to look like it.
Anyone remember playing bamboozle?
FUCK YES
When I was a kid I used to play this all the time! Looked forward to new ones.
