     👆 Does anyone here own a Tandy model with a composite output and can test my theory that the CGA composite mode in this game wasn't meant for IBM's CGA cards, but for Tandy composite? Because these composite colors don't sit well with me. Nobody would go through the effort of making patterned graphics only to then discover that people are blue, and leave it as is.

     I've had a go. It looks worse if anything.

     @root42 No. It doesn't look that different in new either.

     @dosnostalgic is this an issue of „old“ vs. „new“ style composite out?

     @GabeMoralesVR Do you have a CRT TV you can test the composite output on? Not in TGA, but in CGA composite.
