In some point and click games (like MI, MI2, Indy, Pop1 and 2, etc), I actually liked it that there were no yoshi island-ish black outlines around them. The bg's were, at times, very detailed--sometimes, even more than the sprites themselves.

That's okay because adventure games are not action games.

you don't need a dark outline, you don't need any outline.  still, you need the character to be visible against the background.  and that means adding color or contrast or something.  since the sprite is already rich in color and contrast and *still* gets lost, there aren't too many other places to go.

and yeah you don't need the double black line, i was just experimenting.
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.
