The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit...

I dunno if that's the same. VVVVVV at no point indicates it's supposed to represent anything more complex than what it looks like, it just embraces minimalism as it is.
You're right on this...that was to say that minimalism never disappeared. I mean, as the technology evolved we adopted complex and detailed graphics. Of course, that was what they could do with what they had. Still, some atari games were complex, if not cryptic, some would be now full arg. Like that swordquest series, with modern technology that would have been a huge arg.
