Retro Computing

I found this collection of C64 graphics and wanted to share them with you. But it's not only a preview of great artists of the C64 scene, but also a demonstration for excellent programming. The most pictures shown here the C64's video controller isn't able to display. Normally the C64 has a multicolor mode with 160x200 pixels and a hi-res mode with 320x200 pixels, both with very complex color restrictions, and a palette of 16 fixed colors. But as you see the picure resolutions are looking much higher and the pictures are look more colorful than 16-color graphics. For more information about C64 graphic modes take a look here.
