The most common causes of this issue are: Most others I see really do have just 16 colours per screen.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. I don't know whether that's how it was in the original game though. For example, in this (dirty) screenshot, there are 17 colours - I think the "extra" colour is the pure white, which is the only colour not used in the main artwork, it's used only for the text. In particular, something to look into is whether the palette could change mid-screen. If there aren't pixel art-specific ones (which would be surprising), you can find technical specs on VGA online fairly easily. So really, to get the look you're going for, you just need to work with VGA limitations, and I am certain there are many resources about that. Unfortunately, mine (Photoshop) does not have such a mode. Alternatively, if your program allows it, set the color mode to RGB, 6 bits per channel (might be called RGB/6 or 18-bit RGB). Choose your colours from there if that's the restriction you want to go for. Here's the full VGA palette, the 262144 colours I mentioned. Example screenshot to make it clear what type of game I mean, 16 colours, 640x480. These 16 were still chosen from the same global palette of 262144 colours.
I was mistaken because the 256 colour limitation was only for the 320x200 size, but most games used the 640x480 size, which limited them to 16 colours, not 256. I was actually wrong about 256, but I'll explain what I meant: I (mistakenly) meant that it could use 256 colours on the screen simultaneously, but had a global palette of 262144 colours (18-bit RGB, 6 bits per channel) to choose those 256 from.
PC-98 also used VGA, so the colour and screen size limitations were the same. I know there was the PC-98 in Japan which dominated the eroge market before Windows got popular, and many Win95 eroge of the time were ports of earlier PC-98 games. I don't know about earlier eroge, I'm too young xP Well, with the time period I'm talking about, it was Windows 95-ish, not much difference between Japan and the west at the time.
