Mr. Game and/or Watch "sprites" - Dark Jaguar - 29th November 2023
This is just a delightful video of what we would call "sprite sheets" of the Game & Watch games. But, I did notice something. Yes, the "frames" are incredibly low even by NES standards. Yes, there's only two colors... BUT... These are beyond 4K in terms of resolution. The only pixels to be found is in the display of whatever you're looking at these on. The curves are perfectly represented, and that's to be expected when the "sprites" are literally cut INTO the display as the basic "unit" of an image akin to letter typing in a printing press. It's something that could only ever be approximated to greater and greater precision as standard displays, both CRT with it's limited line count and flat panels with their fixed pixels increased their resolution over the years.
