CGA is the oldest standard in color displays; it was
available on the original IBM-PC shipped circa 1981.
Text: 16 colors; 80-columns by 25-lines
40-columns by 25-lines
Graphics: 2 colors; 640x200
4 colors; 320x200
Later adapters, including EGA and VGA, support the CGA
standard but provide additional screen colors and
resolutions.
