Here is an ever corrected list of games where Tandy Graphics are the 'best' option. These are games with Tandy/PCjr graphics that do not have EGA, MCGA, VGA, or SVGA/VESA. https://www.uvlist.net/search?fplat=75&ftag=d … a&fcols=g&ipp=c
This list does not account for official updates that allowed previously released games to use better graphics than it originally shipped with. For example, if a CGA game got an EGA patch after release, it will be excluded even if Tandy Graphics were the best option it shipped with. In some cases games get remakes with better graphics and those get their own entry separate from the original; in which case, the later release does not remove the original from this list. In other words, Tandy was the best option until an ?GA remake was published but the original still counts Tandy Graphics as the best option.
The list does not consider Amstrad, Composite CGA, Plantronics Colorplus, Hercules InColor, or HeadStart Explorer Graphics for reasons (those are arguably not superior to Tandy graphics anyhow, unless it is the 640x200 Amstrad Mode). The list can be adjusted for those by adding the -display-amstrad, -display-cga-composite -display-plantronicscp,-display-hgcic, -display-cgahe, and/or -display-640x200 exclusionary tags (note that -display-640x200 may exclude games with a monochome or 4 color 640x200 mode). ]
Anyone can correct errors and omissions at UVL (and thus, the list listed here).

If you don get an immediate response, please ask on the forums <https://www.uvlist.net/editpost.php> and a someone will respond.

🤣 Those TV hosts look so stiff inside their suits... They look like they haven't seen, much less played, a single videogame in their lives.
