I thought this was certainly interesting as a companion piece (for a decidedly different era of graphics). I can't know this for sure, but I suspect a brief summary of the article -- in particular, an indication that it's not merely lambasting the Super Game Boy -- would have been helpful for folks who were turned off by the article's title.
Yes, the title is extremely unfortunate for such an interesting piece of technical history :(
Great article. Don't miss the next pages! The clever use of tiles in e.g. DK'94 is really wonderful. That the Picross title screen uses such an unique trick is crazy.
I almost got more enjoyment out of this article than out of the Super Game Boy I bought 20 years ago.
