| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Color Graphics Adapter |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This image shows both the typical interface of a low resolution CGA 320×200 in 3rd palette (tweaked) low intensity display, along with some artwork representative of it's limitations regarding color palette. Also, it is a sample of actual art created at the time and not some modern simulation. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Unlikely that any free images released at the time to officially demonstrate CGA 320×200 in 3rd palette (tweaked) low intensity graphics exist. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | There must be at least an screenshot from an actual program using CGA and from that time (early 1990s) to illustrate the look and feel of the graphics. Simulations are useful for technical discussion and to highlight limitation, but no good to show actual use. |
