Monkey Island: all 13 versions side by side — Sydney Technology news

Each capture was scaled to 1600x1200 with nearest-neighbour pixels and 4:3 aspect correction, so every original pixel keeps the shape it had on a period monitor.

The Details

The twelve moments are the same in every version, with the same framing, so switching versions changes the machine, not the moment. The PC 16-color screens come from a Spanish copy and the Atari ST mono ones from a French copy; all the others are in English.

The CRT monitors of DOSBox Staging, ported to WebGL2: its presets for Hyllian's CRT shader, and its own VGA shaders where a screen has few pixels. Each version is drawn from its native pixels on the monitor closest to its own, with a whole number of screen pixels for every scanline where the size allows.

The same kind of monitor, at 480 lines.

The 31 / 15 kHz button swaps the VGA monitor for the card's own 15.7 kHz one: 200 lines.
