thirty-two@powersoffour Oh for sure, one could definitely say that ICEMAN (and by extension Conquests of Camelot) took custom dithering pairs a little *too far*, a common critique of those titles' graphics.
But you can see Doug Herring's work on Colonels Bequest, that in the right hands, its quite powerful. It's a beautiful EGA-era game
On the tech side, by the time you get to QfG2, some of those backgrounds have 4 variants: day/night in two different cities. A EGA palette swapping feat!
