    There’s something charming about trying to express yourself graphically with access to only 8 colours.

      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.

        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.
