Finally got around to play The Secret of Monkey Island and think the art holds up quite well. No idea why they felt the need to redo the graphics for the Special Edition or why you need a fan patch to combine voiced dialogue with the original graphics.

So http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/ has already been posted before, but I just noticed that Mark Ferrari also has a second demo which, instead of or in some cases in addition to color cycling animations, also uses palette tricks to implement day/night cycles:

http://www.effectgames.com/demos/worlds/ - click Show Options to get a time of day slider!

Found this linked at http://www.markferrari.com/image-archives/ which has some static images as well - some of which are included in the demos but also some additional variants as well as additional scenes. Just going to include them all here even if there is some overlap with what was posted before:

Misc. 8-bit Game art - Deluxe Paint II or ProMotion - for various clients 1987-1997

8-bit color cycling & palette-shifting scenes from Seize The Day & and Magic the Gathering Battle Mage - Deluxe Paint II and Promotion - for Seize The Day & Realtime Associates 1994-1996
