Police Quest 2 Wallpaper

Post by Tawmis »

Just had to slightly resize and then copy and past the left and right lines to extend all the way.

So... very... 80's with that logo. :lol:

The first thing that springs to mind when I see the logo is "Why am I in CGA mode?"

Well, PQ2 was made in 1988. VGA only became standard in 1990, so EGA and CGA were still the norm. ;)

But CGA is just 4 colors, which if you glance at PQ2's intro looks very 4 colors. Though it clearly has 16.

For example, Wizardry V in CGA! :D

Hmm - I googled Wizardry V and found images in CGA and EGA. What's all this about?

Same as Sierra. The installer allows for both. I played it in EGA, but I remember trying to play it in CGA a few years ago for fun.

(I love the Wizardry series; well from V onward... IV and previous are insanely difficult and just line art dungeons, which always disoriented me when I tried doing maps) :D
