introduction to Ultima VIII: Pagan on a Compaq Presario 425 with Roland Sound Canvas SC-55
the colour palette is incredibly high contrast - shockingly so on a real CRT. it is impossible to replicate that vibrancy on modern LED monitors.

the dot pitch on this monitor produces a very comfy weave of pixels

That’s why we need those 4k hdr monitors to simulate this in a shader.
@[email protected] Absolutely lovely. U8 has such a banging soundtrack on a quality card/synth, it’s unreal
@[email protected] Oh yeah, loved it back in the day on my SB32 (cut down version of AWE32) with memory upgrade. Music was fantastic, visuals great and all these magic schools and dark rituals that it makes you perform were badass. Only when I replayed the game years later i realized how unfinished broken mess the game is. Still, unique game and AFAIR it required a bit of tinkering to free enough ram to run.
