A86: Re: screen and pixel sizes [OT]
TI-86: 128x64 pixels, b/w
GB: 160x144 pixels, four color yellowscale
GBP: 160x144 pixels, four color grayscale
GBC: 160x144 pixels, 56 colors (not limited to, but also limited by
palettes)
Something to note is that the GB does not have actual pixels, but only
sprites. No video memory like on the PC/TI. You only have a background
(hardware tilemap w/ built in scrolling) and 40 hardware sprites.
APA graphics can be simulated, but they're slow.
