There are games, that I personally think are more pretty in vga than svga! I think KQ5 & KQ6 are far prettier than KQ7. It seems, that the artists get sloppy, when they have all these pixels to fill. they just scan something in, and rely completely on dithering to represent colors, thus making the games really ugly on large/sharp monitors. With the old MCGA games, although there's "jaggies", the coloring seems much better! Another game, that look good in lo-res, IMHO, is Ray-man. But then again, it's all just my opinion.
