I find it very hard to quickly see which is which, the two versions are so different. It would be nice with a more explicit side-by-side layout.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic... you know you only see the VGA one when you hover over it with your mouse? You know which is which because you know which one you're pointing at, right?

Or on mobile, tap the image. TBH I was also wondering for a good while where the other images are.

Maybe people are confused about the animation as well - the images are animated but these minor things like doors moving around aren't the changes they're talking about.

How would I know that?

> Hover the cursor over the images to see the remastered VGA version. If you're on a iOS device, you can simply tap the images

Ah, I just opened the page and scrolled down, saw what looked like pairs of images but couldn't really tell if one had more colours than the other. The text didn't help to enlighten me either. But now I see the description in the intro.

How do you think I know it? I'm just trying to help you use the site and access the content, mate.

Did you really think I was being sarcastic?

From the HN commenting guidelines:

>Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Eh? I did assume good faith. I checked if they were wanting a serious reply because it wasn't clear, then I explained how to do what they wanted to do, even though it was already in the article.

Perhaps I've fallen victim to a regional language difference but even with the most generous interpretation I could manage, the addition of "mate" on the end of your comment left me with the impression that you were being (mildly) aggressive.

I will refer myself to my own quote from the guidelines :-)

I was thinking same thing, only accidentally did I discover that hovering mouse over one shows VGA version. And then I read the text.
