Re: No complaints about the serial attributes?
The serial attributes indeed have been a pain for a while, but like many things they just required some lateral thinking to actually be no more than just a feature to use correctly.
Since then there's been quite many games that pushed the envelope in the graphical department, like Stormlord, Impossible Mission or SkoolDaze.
If you are interested about what changed on the Oric in the last 30 years, I invite you to take a look at the Oric Birthday page: https://www.facebook.com/OricBirthday (and associated site: http://oric30years.defence-force.org), there are some cool pictures and small articles explaining for example the issue you are talking about like that one about the graphics:
