CGA was a graphics card released in 1981 for the IBM PC. The standard mode uses one of two 4-color palettes (each with a low-intensity and high-intensity mode), but a hack allows use of all 16. #cga

AAP-DGA16

Created by Adigun A. Polack

Greatly inspired by the CGA/EGA era in the DOS gaming days fresh outta both the entire 1980s and early 1990s, this very newest palette by me takes all 16 of the main base colors of the original CGA/EGA and quite dials back the overly blatant high contrast to just the right balance — as well as vastly improving the hue shifting of them — making them all rather more sleeker, more modernized, and much, much better overall while being A LOT easier on the eyes also, quite importantly. This promises to be such a wonderfully handsome new replacement in bringing back those amazing glory days of DOS gaming and ANSI graphics both in such splendid style indeed!!

This is just one example of my AAP-DGA16 palette in action, taking you indeed back to the glory days of CGA/EGA DOS gaming greatness while making all the colors a whole lot easier (and much more fun!!) to see, too! - by Adigun A. Polack
