surely this is extremely pointless?
depends on how you look at it,
what it means is old pc's can run the games as they need a fraction of the gfx card power that you would with all the textures enabled.
But for a modern day pc yes it is pointless

Hmm...with a small blur effect, if applied nicely it wouldn't take much mem/power...you could call it a new "alien - the hunter" game as it's what it reminds me off.

Also adding 256 colors ain't bad.

If this gets the attention it needs, we could be talking lag free gaming, dependles of hardware, in years.

Well the graphics card still has to render the characters on the screen, so the more complicated you make it (lots of different colours etc.) the more hardware intensive it will be.
