doing some visual design research on isometric tile-based games and came across this incredible screenshot from Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye

that entire screenshot was drawn with just *sixteen colours*

(click screenshot to view as razor sharp pixels)

A screenshot from a game. A modal dialogue shows an elderly bearded advisor saying "All voices are raised with thanks and high praise to the Goddess."

Above it: illustration of a man waving his hand over a bull as its handler stands by.

Below them is an isometric tile map showing a little island with trees surrounded by a sea.

@vga256 Since I discovered the game through this screenshot, I have been obsessed with it and will try to get it to run it later. In the mean time, I was only able to find this long play video series on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TA_cY5zmqE

Unfortunately the video compression (?) makes the game look worse than this screenshot suggests.
