spacebuffer: the leaves one is really nice.
patrickscoleman: we have a crt tv with built in vhs in our office and have a bunch of old tapesone is “Mastering Windows 3.1”it’s fun to run in the background while workingfor your enjoyment, here’s a similar 3.1 tutorial video from that era uploaded to YouTubehttps://youtu.be/KRi5mjMgORk?si=OFH7UhOQif5EUCtg
montroser: Gosh, my brain just got all fuzzy going through those one after the next. Transitioning from the previous era of CGA to 16 colors was so very exciting at the time.
wiremine: Oh, man, does that bring back the memories!Thanks for sharing. :-)
_fw: What tickles me is that Andreas put these on GitHub 13 years ago.That’s long enough in tech to be considered retro in and of itself… let alone the age of these tiled backgrounds!
mikestorrent: the 256color.bmp looks wrong, it's supposed to look more 3d, because it actually does use the 256 color pallette
gfody: yep that ones quantized to the system palette with no dithering, better version here: https://peakd.com/pixelart/@zelet/pixel-art-series-3-homage-...
LetsGetTechnicl: Here's someone's personal archive of weird miscellanea, including old Windows wallpapers which is what reminded me. I use unironically use the classic Packard Bell tile background on my computers because it reminds me of my grandmother's PC which is one of the first I ever used.https://www.dvd3000.ca/wp/extra/pb.html
layer8: Background knowledge is invaluable.
peder: I feel an ocular migraine coming on looking at these.On CRT displays, did these not cause visual problems in the same way? I remember having no trouble looking at these years ago.
bombcar: Someone who bought Windows 3.1 could easily be a grandparent by now, even if their first kid was born on release day.And the kid could be born when this upload was done, and now be downloading!
gerdesj: Sigh ... boots C64 with a rather odd coax to SCART to HDMI daisy-chain video interface. I also have a QSII joystick that I didn't quite manage to ruin playing Daley Thompson decathalon.
markus_zhang: I checked the website and he/she did a lot of really cool stuffs.
