There's something charming about trying to express yourself graphically with access to only 8 colours.
More likely EGA or VGA with 16 or 256 available colors. CGA was only 4 and the colors were chosen by someone who really liked pink.Still, there was probably some video mode somewhere that only had 8 colors.Edit: I didn't know teletype was not PC related. TIL.
This is not pc-related though. Teletext was information pages transmitted on UK terrestrial (analogue) television channels in the long-distant past.
In your defence it never came to Canada.I made that pic myself in a teletext editor, so it's genuine teletext, not made to look like it.

Same vibe as ENDOOM, though that has access to more colours. Some custom wads feature amazing ones.
