Sometimes this does not feel like an 80286-based computer from 1986

1. A really, amazingly pretty computer illustration of a girl looking out of the screen with a sublime mixture of "manga aesthetic" and photorealism. She's holding a hand to her mouth as she looks sideways at you. It looks like the illustration was painted on stone or something because that's the artistic effect that's being gone for. Anyway it's actually being displayed on a PC-9801VX computer from around 1986 or 1987, with two 5.25 inch floppy disk drives and an 80286 CPU in 16 colours. But what amazing colours they are (and what a wide range of choices artists were given as to what the colours would be)!
