The Lucasfilm Games artists did amazing work with limited color palettes. You can make the argument that the 16-color versions of Secret of Monkey Island and LOOM actually look better than the 256-color versions.

Always thought the Amiga versions of Monkey Island and Loom are the best in terms of graphics, vibe and music.
When I see monkey island I always think of the Amiga copy protection on monkey island 2. The game was on something like 13 floppies that you had to keep switching but there was only super hard copy protection on disk 7 or something so you'd get part way through the game before getting scuppered. (I was only about 10 years old).
