Prebought this last week. It's incredibly accurate to the original 8 bit versions. The only nitpick I have so far is a) I don't know how to use the 'mouse' (clicked macbook trackpad, but can't quite figure it out?), and b) the background 'grey' may be 'right' (as originally displayed on CRTs), but seems a bit dark on my current monitor.
Music is great, animations, characters, text... it's all there. So well done. Looking forward to trying 'online' version later.
- puzzud 3y agoYou'll never catch the wampus with your trackpad. :) Good point with the brightness. I agree. I'll probably add a setting to dial up the brightness (without washing out black).
- mgkimsal 3y agoHello @puzzud A hearty thanks to you for making this. I had so so so much fun reliving some great memories I had with friends so many years ago. Your attention to so many tiny details is truly appreciated.
- CodeWriter23 3y agoI don't think the grey is right. It wasn't full white but there was some decent contrast.
- puzzud 3y agoI agree. Color values when comparing to old systems is not a definite thing. Between the television / monitor used, the settings on that monitor, the video format standard (NTSC, PAL), and even the run of hardware (for example, it's said even C64 VIC chips made just years apart output slightly different colors). The color values used mostly come from a slightly altered atari800 emulator color palette. I think it's the case of the palette values the original authors used ran on the dark side because of the brightness effect that CRT televisions had at the time. That being said, I plan on adding a setting to increase the brightness of all colors (besides black).
