I'll be honest. In the past, I used to hate all quests that used the classic tileset. Why do you ask? I honestly don't know, now. Was it because it looks so aged? Was it because it was just too simple? Was it because of all the NES styled quests? Or was it just because I was jealous of how easy it is to produce quests in it?

Well, the classic tileset is now one of my favourite tilesets and I really enjoy making screens and stuff in it! Screendesigning is alot faster than in tilesets like Pure or DoR, and it's still possible to make it look good very easily.
I began to realise this, when one day I opened up ZQ and started to make a few random overworld screens. I really liked the look of what I just made and then I began to think up plans for a quest to make with it. This is how Ganon's Curse started.

The Classic Tileset. It's not that bad!
My plans soon developed into a real project and that's what we have today. Ganon's Curse changed my opinion about the Classic tileset entirely and I can't believe how much I enjoy using it over other tilesets. I was worried about the look of the dungeons in classic, mainly because I didn't like the palettes and then I started to learn how to make palettes, so I can have dungeons that look different from most other quests that use the classic tileset. I have a passion for dungeons, so that was really important for me.

Some pretty sick palettes, if you ask me.
The classic tileset is really simple to use and it's simple to make new tiles for. It's a clean looking tileset, while not very detailed, still kind of pleasing to the eye if used right. Of course a quest won't work if you don't show any effort at all. The tileset reduces the effort needed to create something good, but effort is still needed if you want your quest to shine. This can be said about any tileset.
I've played a lot of good classic tileset quests now and I'm looking forward to future quests, I really encourage people to use the set!
