It may be low-res, but the number of colors available more than makes
up for the difference. By blending many of the colors the appearance of
a higher resolution can be generated. If you're looking for a good VGA program
and MCGA program try out Deluxe Paint II by Electronic Arts. It blows
Microsoft's paintbrush out of the water.
