How should I go about creating pre-rendered backgrounds like

The way I'd go about it,

Render the scene, normally as you would in any other project
Push the render into a image editor, and limit the colours used
Optionally, try to match the colours to the palette available to a machine of your choice, essentially faking colour limitation

Thanks for the response, that sounds like a good idea.

Would simply compressing the image give it the pixelated look or would I have to do something else?

Is it?
Im absolutely positive that the megaman games on the PSX had some pre-rendered backgrounds, or at least parts of them were pre rendered.

I know for a fact that alot of the backgrounds in the Resident Evil games were pre-rendered.
