I had 8 bit machines (Spectrum and C64) and then got an Amiga A500. I remember at the time being nothing short of appalled by CGA colour palettes, since CGA was still pretty commonplace in the late 80s and even the early 90s (e.g., at school). It cemented an opinion that PC hardware of the era was overpriced, underperforming, and uninteresting. I’ve subsequently developed a level of respect for what developers and artists have been able to achieve within the constraints of CGA but I have no nostalgia for it.
I remember this as a whole immersive world, is funny to look back and realise that it was all only in 16 colours.
