MCGA Video Resolution

MCGA - 320 x 200 (16 colors)

MCGA did not offer a “true” 16 color color video mode; instead, games would set the 256 color mode but only use up to 16 colors at a time. While some games did take advantage of the full color palette MCGA offered, many games would also use only the first 16 default colors which were set to look the same as the EGA version of the game.
