.	Care to name any?  I've played a lot of games, and some of them

.	fuzzy.


This is a serious problem which is not caused by using "only" 256 colors.
The Atari ST and Amiga use 320x200 as well, and most games for these
only use 16 at the same time. Now compare the look of, e.g. Lemmings
for ST and VGA Graphics... See the difference? The reason why graphics
for VGA look blocky or fuzzy is the full block design of the pixels! On an
Amiga or ST, the pixels are interrupted by very thin black lines; the
optical effect is that lines drawn seem to be thinner and circles occur
rounder with effective smaller pixels.

The same games on a Atari TT look worse than those for the ST since the
TT uses the same fullsize pixels than VGA graphics does; even with
anti-aliasing of some VGA games, the effect still is there. 

Aren't there any other users around with the same experiences?
