Man I loved that game on my Amiga. I can't say I noticed the gradient appearing/going away. I did notice that all the cockpits in the 40 Birds of Prey aircraft looked strangely alike, and that the radio chatter in Flight of the Intruder sounded the same every time. Going a bit further back, on the C64, playing Echelon with the LipStik voice controller, you could shout all kinds of gross words and the game would happily respond as if every one of those words was "fire"...Fun memories.
