I don't like this new look because it have low resolution and everything look so pixel. Blockly type similiar to Atri game ( 1980 version). I m using Mac. I do hope there would be no more of this up date version in the near future. It is like I have to learn and memorize entire new map of Washington DC and I thought Rl Washington DC and Chicago map is bad enough. Why this? I don't want to many " possible" theories of why this isn't working.I want LL to fix it. Thank you

Hi Hope!!!!!
You can make it look better in your graphic preferences. It's set at a medium default when you first use it.

And make sure your drivers are up to date.

From: Cunundrum Alcott That looks like fun! It was fun! Donkey Kong wasn't my thing, though. Pac-Man, all the way, baby!  And for those who wanted the ultimate in graphics, Pitfall was widely considered to be the best looking game of that era.  What's that, you say? You're drooling over this stunning imagery? Oh, you kids today and your newfangled ways. Come on; the tree leaves have highlights, the underground scorpion tunnel has bricks, there's even a gradient on that fire thing on the right. And the ground is actually drawn to look almost kind of sort of 3-dimensional. Life doesn't get much better than this here in good old 1982.

Frogger was actually my favorite.

I knew the world would never be the same the first time I stared at the flashing lime green C: prompt. Then things took off like wildfire. Who can forget the joys of early graphic art…  |
