We need to bring back the 88x31 gifs! What's missing from the Internet these days is a little bit of heart, and a little bit of soul. All these algorithms curating our content and the people tweaking their content so that the algorithm will rank it better is making the Internet a little less wholesome by the day.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did you mean ZX Spectrum? Because C64 didn't have any trouble showing multiple colors in 8x8 blocks.

C64 didn't have any trouble showing multiple colors in 8x8 blocks. In high resolution mode it did, which is the 320x200. You could only have a single foreground color and a background color. In the low resolution 160x200 mode you could have one background color and three foreground colors in a 4x8 square. I was a computer artist back then, published in several Commodore magazines, and the first thing I had to decide…

Thanks for the explanation. For some reason, I thought that limit only applied to C64 text mode, not graphics.

Well with today's resolutions, we probably need to pick a higher resolution. We could upscale by 150% (132*47)
