In 1992 pc/mac/atari has chunky pixels.


Only on models that were comparable in price with «bigbox» Amiga featuring graphics card.

Quote:
developers on pc/mac/atari in 1992 just use 256 or hicolor and don't need to deal with bitplanes.

In 1992, 256 colour modes were..
* rare
* extremely low resolution
* expencive

At the time I took computer courses at univ in 1993/4, the mac labs were all monochrome mac II systems except for _one_ that had colour display. Apple were trying to push the brand new "colour classic" with its 10" 512 x 384 on us students for a ridiculous ammount of money (A1200 x 3?). Look at the Falcon, having chunky did not save it.
