I don't know... I actually think that the EGA versions of VGA releases aren't too bad. The sprites and backgrounds were redrawn to look good in EGA, not simply downgraded to 16 colors by program. They could have looked a lot worse than they do.
You might want to check out my pages of screenshots of KQ5 EGA and SQ1 remake and SQ4 EGA, if you've never played those releases. Be warned though, on dial-up they take a LONG time to load.
However, I will agree that the Amiga conversions of Sierra's 256-color games (save KQ6 Amiga which actually is decent) are hideous. |
What a great site...
It brought back alot of nostalgia.
I guess I was mostly disturbed because I had Amiga at the time, and I actually played both Kings Quest V and Space Quest IV on Amiga. I decided to replay it on PC later just because I wanted to see the game as it was intended. The VGA versions looks quite nice, so there wasnt anything wrong with the technlogy, unless you wanted to quickly release a 32c version to Amiga I guess.
