Yeah. I never played this game, but the EGA scenes feel evocative and the VGA ones don't. Similar to the Loom discussion the other day.

Mostly it feels like the EGA artist was better at dramatic lighting. For example, in the EGA version of the dead templar, the neck area is pure black for a reason: it makes the skull, the focal point of the image, stand out more. But in the VGA version they decided to paint something there, so the image became less focused.
