I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. (lemmy.world)

The character sprites were 16x24 in combat, so a whole 384 pixels to work with!

A 386 could handle that easily and still have two pixels left.

Gonna make good use of those 33Mhz!

Sometimes I forget that CPU clock speeds were talked about in Mhz instead of Ghz.

And not even hundreds of MHz till the 90s.
