16bitiksi

16bitiksi is a term that refers to the use of 16-bit graphics in video games and other digital media. The term is a portmanteau of "16-bit" and "pixilated," reflecting the pixelated appearance of graphics in games from this era. 16-bit graphics were popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with notable platforms including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Sega Genesis. These graphics are characterized by their limited color palettes and resolution, typically ranging from 256 to 65,536 colors, and resolutions of 256x224 to 320x240 pixels. The term "16bitiksi" is often used in discussions about retro gaming and nostalgia, as it evokes a specific aesthetic and era in gaming history.
