For the uninitiated, there's quite a few finished GB to GBC conversions already: https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=33121.0 https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=33121.0 e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFm0aeg9nec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFm0aeg9nec Even the King James Bible has been colorized for... some reason.

More seriously, isn’t Christianity like one of the three biggest religions in the world? Makes sense that one of its followers would find it useful to make an enhancement to the game. In color.

As far as I know the book itself doesn't endorse the practice.

      Yeah, I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek. What does it mean for a book to endorse making color illustrations of it's content? Why is the lack of endorsement for color illustrations in the Bible noteworthy when explicit endorsement for illustration is not really something we expect from any book.
