Comparison of bitmap images from the Magnetic Scrolls text adventure The Pawn between four different platforms.

Commodore 64 images on the upper left of each section, Commodore Amiga images on the upper right. Atari 8-bit images on the lower left, and Apple Macintosh images on the lower right. C64 and Atari XL images are double-sized, and the multicolor mode pixels are not square, but twice as wide as they are high. Atari XL images are made up of no more than 4 colors for some reason, although the Atari hardware is in itself capable of showing a wider range of colors than the C64 can.

All images are obtained using emulators; Vice for Commodore 64, UAE for Amiga, Atari800 for the 8-bit Atari, and Mini vMac for Apple Macintosh.
