True - the software renderer allows only 8-bit color (i.e. 256 colors). Support for 16 and 32 bits requires OpenGL. That's the oldschool spirit!

I'm not much of a walkthrough critic, so I can't really say. If you really feel like doing it, give it a try, and then you can compare the old and new videos and choose the better ones :)
