Pixel Boost is our weekly series devoted to the artistry of games, and the techniques required to run them at high resolutions.
Using Durante's GeDoSaTo, we were able to downsample The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition from 8K to a very sharp 1440p. Downsampling isn't effective for 2D games the way it is for 3D, because there isn't 3D geometry to render at higher resolutions. The original art is only so high-res. Downsampled, Monkey Island's backgrounds still make for great wallpapers.
Enjoy this tour of Melee Island. Remember to click the "expand" button on an image if you want to download the full-res version.
