Oh... Oh dear lord... Is everything magenta or do they switch to one of the more muted pallets for the sake of our eyes and sanity?

Iunnrais posted:Turns out, the CGA graphics mode was designed with a completely different display device in mind-- not monitors, but composite cables and CRT TVs. Those awful magentas and cyans get distorted by composite cables and actually blur together to create 16 colors (from 4 pallets-- so 64 colors in total) that don't look like poo poo, while only requiring 2 bits per pixel! Mind you those pixels were quite fuzzy and ill-defined... terrible for text... but for graphics they weren't THAT bad for the day. Oh, I know. I love that video because he actually shows the effect on an actual monitor. But still, why not one of the other pallets? Even just the darker toned one of this one?

It turns out that Uncle Smokes "quest" for us was actually a clever ruse, as his brother, your father, was actually a vastly wealthy widower before he passed away and left everything to you. Uncle Smoke, having squandered his share of the family fortune on a frivolous quest that ended in abject failure, came up with a plan to send you out to find the thing he has "found" years ago. He knew it didn't exist, and that you were going to die at the hands of the mire crabs, was prepared to wait in Metallica long enough to declare you legally dead and seize your father's estate for himself. Unfortunately for him, you survived and returned to expose his crimes.

But are they alive at the time the game starts?
