I am working on a dos program for use on mobile devices.

To be used by a dos emulator like adosbox, or Dospad.

It seems to me that 8 bit color graphics might run faster then the 32 bit color graphics.

Does anyone have any experience with this ?

Do 8 bit graphics games run faster then 32 bit graphics games?

Hard to say, the latter are mostly more complex to begin with 😉
But if they were reduced to graphics, I'd think that 8bit probably is faster
