This is a list of those DOS, Windows and Macintosh games that are capable of running in hi-color (thousands of colors) or higher. From 1998 on, this was pretty much standard, so I have included only DOS games from that year on.

Nearly all of these games run at 640×480, thus requiring only 1 MB video RAM. While most 16-bit ISA VGA cards can be upgraded to that amount, they nevertheless won't support hi-color modes. About the only that do are the SPEA Video7 cards, which were used mainly for CAD work. These, however, are only partly fit for SVGA DOS games.
