in case it isn't clear from the entire time we've been posting together by jeep 10/15/2012, 8:23am PDT I've played all the games on crpg addict. If you're doing 4-color I think you should look at the gold box games. the first time I played them was on an mcga monitor so they'll always be 4 color to me. if you play through like...the slums level of pool of radiance (the first one) and then the first bit of secret of silver blades (the third one?) you can see the small interface improvements they made and why. that game is mostly text with pictures and a simple bard's tale kind of look to it. then you can look at eye of the beholder or more recently grimlock to see how things kind of advanced from there.
