Mac Graphics From Ultimate Lemmings

[WillLem]

That being said - if for whatever reason one did want to make an HR-focused style, I don't see any problem with creating HR graphics then downscaling them to create the LR versions.

Yes, this could be an acceptable solution.

I don't think we need yet another version of the official styles just to achieve that, rather than making these the HR versions of the existing ones.

It's not as simple as that.

At the very least: not all of the Mac gfx are the same shape as their low-res counterparts. This is something we'd need to tackle if we were going to make these images the basis of a hi-res set.

Then, there are some pieces that just... don't look as good (IMO). An example being this one, in Pillar (which is also a different shape):

      
L->R: Mac version, Windows 95 version, Amiga version (200% Nearest)

IMO, the best version from the above is probably the Amiga one, but - of course - it isn't actually a hi-res image.

If we wanted to make a proper project of this, take our time and get it right (we should!), we could do something like this, which solves the shape issue and (IMO) looks better:

Other pieces we could just use as-is from the Mac version, of course. There are likely to be only a small handful of pieces from each style that will need manual TLC - but they will need it.
