The two pallettes in CGA are known colloquially as Rastafarian and Liquorice Allsorts, obviously. CGA was better in some respects to EGA : although you had less colours, the clashing was less nauseating, and nobody was tempted to try creating skin tones. Centipede, 3-DEMON, Pengo, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Shogun, and Leaderboard were all fine examples of CGA gaming at its best. They looked close to the arcade and 8-bit micro originals. CGA was taken to the extreme in Alley Cat. Begat EGA, XGA, MCGA and indirectly, VGA and SVGA.
